Default Finding out hard drive rpm\'s??

Hello, all. Does anyone know how to find out the rpm of a drive without yanking it, and doing research on it, as I don't think that info isn't usually printed on the drive. I tried About this Mac>More Info to no avail.

Just thought it might be helpful to know how to find out.

Thanks, E.

The easy way - use System Profiler (About this Mac) and find the model number.. then check the manufacturer's specs (or use Google).

Just looked at six different brands of drives stacked up on my workbench, and they all have the RPM info on their labels.

If you're talking about typical ATA and SATA drives in desktop computers and peripheral cases these days, they're pretty much all going to be 7200 RPM unless you have 10k WD Raptors.
