Hey guys,

Do any of you know if Western Digital's desktop external HDDs use 7200RPM HDDs or just 5400RPM HDDs?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe that they are 5400RPM because they are 2.5 inch drives.

But 2.5" drives can be 7200RPM.

Hmm...I have come across those @Vitalius. I've actually been looking at this » http://www.wdc.com/en/products/external/desktop/ «

Just would be good to know what RPM HDD it uses. I do already have an external WD 1TB HDD but I would imagine that it is probably only 5400RPM. But I could be wrong.

Which are you wanting to buy? Elements or Book?
