Check the label on the harddrive, should be there for a decent amount of them.

If you can find out the make and model of your HDD you should be able to find the specs of it that should list the RPM. ;)

Commonly if you have 3.5" HDD, its 7200 RPM most.

If it is 2.5", it'll be 5400 RPM..

 

Sometime it changes.

 

Also check with the model number on the HDD label, It'll tell you the story.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

Just buy a cheap SSD and have that HDD as your storage drive. ;)

You'll wanna install the OS and applications on the SSD for fast boot and load times. :)
