If it doesn't say (and it doesn't!) I would assume that its 5400.

If you can afford it, buy a Western Digital Blue or Black. They're extremely reputable 7200rpm drives with quality and an amazing warranty behind them.

Never buy the WD Blue! I've never seen a Blue that did not die. Pick Red if you need something between the Green and the Black. Or RE if you have 16 bay iSCSI RAID enclosures.

According to WD's marketing pap, Intellipower is a "finely tuned blend of blah blah blah".

You can determine the real RPM of your drive by examining a HD Tune read benchmark graph. For example, if the width of the band of access time data points is 11 msec, then the RPM is 5400 RPM. For a 7200 RPM drive the width would be 8msec.
