    So, I've seen that for solid state drives, flashdrives, etc. They post the read and write speeds of that drive. However, for harddiscs, they just post the spin speed; 5400 and 7200rpm. The problem is I don't know how fast those are compared to the solid state memory. I tried searching but found nothing. Does anyone know the common read and write speeds of those two types of HDDs? Thanx!
