What are the read write speeds on these hdd's

[Viking1237]

i want to buy an external hdd for my xbox one so i want a drive thats gonna be faster than the 5400rpm internal one and have 1tb of space now the xbox one has usb 3.0 ports that it will use and from what it seems is that 7200rpm read write speed doesn't get close to the potential of a usb 3.0 port which is good because at first i was afraid the usb 3.0 would bottleneck the drive


so im curious what is the rpm of these drives i cant find it http://store.westerndigital.com/store/wdus/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/ThemeID.21986300/categoryID.13093400/subCategory.54598100/parid.13092300/catid.13092800

and any opinions on something better is fine just under 100 dollar price

I think based on the model number the larger one that has a 3.5" drive will be 7200RPM, and the smaller one with the 2.5" or smaller drive will be 5400RPM.

so the my book is 7200rpm is ur guess

 

[Saberus]

Yes, mainly because most of their internal 3.5" drives are that speed, and they don't make a special model just for the My Book, it's likely a WD Caviar Blue or Caviar Black under the hood.

what about a my book or a elements both are western digital

 

[Saberus]

They will be much the same, a desktop/laptop-grade hard drive of the appropriate size inside. They will share similar specs.

do you know what the rpm is of the two drives im finding info thats 50/50 of 5400rpm and 7200rpm from what it seems is they use wd green drives if that helps

 

[Saberus]

Greens run at 5400RPM Only way to know for certain what models are inside is to crack open the cases.
