    its 5400 to 7200 RPM and not 7200 RPM.

      The difference being when it's in power saving mode it's at 5400rpm and when it's reading/writing data it's at 7200rpm I presume? (rather than just 7200rpm or zero)
      it's a 7200rpm capable drive.. the fact it has power saving tech that slows the drive when you don't need the speed or the high pitched whine is not a negative thing in my opinion.

        WD Caviar Green drives have fixed rotational speed, depending on the model (and whatever WD feels like).

        Dynamic rotational speed is a complete furphy, intentionally implied by WD to confuse the speed issue. See the looong discussion in the WD10EADS deal.

        It's safest to expect a 5400rpm drive and take that into consideration of your storage/performance requirements.

    8mb cache is a bit disappointing

    IntelliPower (5400 to 7200 RPM)

    What does that mean? Never seen that before…

      Didn't you see the comment by scubacoles above?

    It's a 5400rpm drive, not 5400-7200rpm, despite what some resellers say.

    Good drive, quiet, and low power. Unless you are running a server in a shared environment you shouldn't get hung up on bullshit about latency, transfer speed and cache.
