Thanks for the help bro , i read through the thread and i figured that the intellipower ranges from 5400 to 5900 or even lower but i was told that this hard drive had a 7200 RPM so should i return it back ?

Depends which usage you will give.

Example: Normal usage, like data storage, music, etc. Its plenty fine. Now, if you depends of the speed of the RPM and read-write numbers, then yes, you want to change it.

Post here which usage you will give it, and we decide if its the best choice for you.

Yeah i think it will be mainly for storage , games to be specific because that's the main reason i built my pc , but would it matter in terms of OS speed i mean would it slow down me a bit , since i don't have an SSD yet ? thanks for your concern

If the OS is installed on that HDD, then yes, it will be 'slow' compared to an 7200RPM HDD or SSD.

But, if you will pick a SSD in the future, just go for big gb storage (250~500GB), install there the OS + some games, and you will be fine, and just use that HDD for media storage documents etc.

But can i move my OS to the SSD without having to re-install it ?

Its called 'cloning SSD', but yes, you can.
