Question External HDD Speeds

[SpyroBot]

Hey.
So the following external HDD says that it's "5400 RPM" and "5120 GB per second", what do these numbers mean, and is it good? Thanks!

And if it's not good, feel free to give some recommendations for an external HDD (Used for storing games + productivity stuff)

The main speed limiting factor is the USB interface, not the drive.

It will be somewhat slower than an internal drive.
Unless this is for a laptop, why an external?

A desktop with no room for a second internal drive?
Well..OK.

That drive you selected is about average for an external drive. Nothing special. As stated, the USB interface is the limiting factor.

Would you happen to have a better recommendation than this?

They're all about the same.
2.5", 5400 rpm, Seagate is a good brand.
