    Use HDTune to show you the model. If the rpm isnt there, put the model into google.

    I'm hot for RPM's too :p

    I usually use a slow motion camera and just try to get as many flips as i can before my laptop crashes into a wall/the ground :D

    Other than that the answers everyone else gave you will work perfectly. Though if its just the Hard drive your curious about check the model number in your device manager and you can just look it up (assuming its not a SSD)

    Easiest way to tell is go to your Device manager and google the HDs model.
