[SOLVED] Which is faster? Laptop Hard Drive or PC Hard Drive?

Solution
There aren't many 7200rpm laptop drives on the market, most are 5000-5400rpm's. This helps with battery life as well as acoustics.
My latest 8tb Wd 7200 rpm drive can write at 220MB/s . A fast laptop drie is about half that speed.


The best option is to get an SSD. The Sata ones are all laptop size and a good one will easily surpass an HDD.

I prefer 2'5'' HDDs just because they don't vibrate like hell and they run cooler. I see no difference in performance.

Accidentally bought a laptop HDD for my PC, best accident.
