Hello,
I have a Asus x553ma laptop, that has a 3600rpm 500gb hard drive that died few days ago. I saw a hdd for a great deal, but it was 5400rpm... Will this rpm difference affect my battery life? If so, how much? Answers will be appreciated :)
 

Hmm, I checked my hdd, it has no number, nothing... just the drive.... On english pages it shows that the disk is 5400rpm... Seems like my seller has mistaken that it has 3600rpm..... Thanks so much for the help! :)
