    I want to know if I did receive a 7200rpm hard-drive. But just how do I go about finding that out?

    Right click on my computer, click on hardware, then device manager. Right click on your disk drive and you will see the model #. Type that into google and your set.

    It's a 7200RPM drive. The "72" in the title is how you can tell with Hitachi's.
