2008-04-20 19:28:00 How to buy hard drive? Typical drives spin at 5400rpm (rpm = rotations per minute); better ones spin at 7200rpm ; the fastest drives spin at 10000rpm. However, drives that spin at 7200rpm come with up to 1TB(1000GB) of storage capacity, but drives that spin at 10000rpm come with only up to 150GB. In fact, the faster the disks spin, the faster the data is read or written. Hard drive that spin slower than 5400rpm can considerably slow down your computer.

Otherwise it will just be too slow for your purposes. However, speed of 7200rpm is the most recommended for both internal and external hard drive.
