3600 rpm vs. 5400 rpm hdd affect on battery life

[sandijs11]

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

What drive do you have? That laptop normally has a 500 GB 5400 RPM drive; large 3600 RPM drives don't seem to be available.

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!

Have you considered a SSD? It improves performance while drawing less power.
