How many rpm is this hdd?

[jlourenco]

I have to replace a HDD from a PS3 and because i live in a small island i dont have many options where to buy one, and the best and actually very cheap option i have is taking the hd from this external HDD:

But for PS3 it has to be a 5400rpm HDD and i cant find how many rpm is this HDD. Is there any way to know this?

Thanks

You might try contacting the Toshiba support group and asking them

I'd put money on it being a 5400

Does it matter ?
The drive is usb3 and the ps3 is usb2 so it will only work at usb2 speeds if it works at all (lots of reports of usb3 drives not working on the ps3) USB2 is much slower than even a 5400 rpm drive.

98% chance that it's 5400rpm. Not many 7200rpm drives in the 2.5" format, just WD Black and Seagate Momentus (I think). Even a WD Blue which is 7200rpm in 3.5" size drops down to 5400rpm when made in 2.5" size.

I guess you´re right giantbucket , i´ve managed to contact a person who has this hdd after your answer and it's confirmed, it´s a 5400

Thanks.
