    go into My Computer, right click on your C: drive, and go to the Hardware tab. Google / Newegg search the name of your HDD.

    Hi, using the program I found out that I have a Seagate 4200rpm harddrive with model number st980829a. But after looking at the manual on page 13, it says: "Spindle speed: 4,200 RPM-class performance (actual spin speed: 5,400 RPM)"
    What does this mean? It's so confusing...
