    If you are talking about transfer speeds, use HDTune to benchmark your hdd

    Also just to add, you most likely have a 5400rpm HD on your SZ if that was what you were looking for.

    i have 200gb 4200rpm in my sz, it's eu version of sz691n/x.

    Could its low rpm give lower perfomance in games comparing to 5400 and 7200 rpm?

    offcourse, the lower the rpm rotation speed the more time it needs to access textures in the game (AKA the drawings u see) which in the result will result in a poor performance. Especially if you have less than 2 GB of RAM as the system will rely on the virtual memory, which is again your hard disk
