Does anyone know the rotational speed of the Seagate 2.5 inch FireCuda 2TB (ST2000LX001)?  I have looked everywhere, and haven't found an answer.

Hey, we are a bit late to the party here. Just wanted to confirm what was stated, the 2.5" ST2000LX001 model of FireCuda is 5400 RPM. There is a 3.5" version of the FireCuda which is 7200 RPM, the 2TB model for that would be ST2000DX002.

Thanks, I was aware of that, kind of hard to fit a 3.5 inch drive in to a laptop though.  

 

For games the 3.5 inch drive would be the best option though, correct?

If you had space for it, the 3.5" with the faster RPM would be the way to go. If you've only got room for a 2.5", then it's going to be a pretty solid option which should help with things like boot times and loading new areas of map, depending what ends up on the SSD cache portion of the drive.
