Question about portable HDD

[Charlie98]

I have two Seagate GoFlex 500GB portable HDDs, CrystalDisk lists the rotation rate as 7200RPM? I though the external portables were, essentially, enclosed laptop 5400RPM drives...? ...or is CrystalDisk being overly optomistic :sneaky:

It states here that it's a 7,200 RPM drive. So I guess CrystalDisk is correct. At least it identifies my 5,400 RPM Toshiba drive as 5,400 RPM one.
