What rpm HD?

[Hulk]

I just bought a m6805 emachines laptop, it came with a 20 gig HD instead of the usual 60 GB one.

I want to upgrade to a 60GB 7200 rpm HD, only trobule is I have no idea how fast my current HD is!

This is a problem because if I do have a 7200rpm HD then it would be useless for me to upgade because I don't even want that much more storage - just want the pure power of the 7200rpms!

What are some of the ways I can check the rpm of my current HD?

BTW, here are the results from running HD Tach, maybe they can help solve the mystery.

Random access 18.2ms
CPU utilization 4%
Average read 15.2 MBs

Burst Speed 93.8MBs

Its probably a 5400 rpm hd. Download everest www.lavalys.com, I think it shows what the rpm is

EDIT: Yes Everest does show rpm. In the menu go Storage/ATA then scroll down
