[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3344378, member: 29706"] For sure. My wife's laptop had a 7200RPM 1TB drive that I added in. It was a lot faster than the 750GB it came with but with both of them in there boy did it drain the battery. Ended up swapping her to an SSD and it was very fast and did everything she needed. Left the 7200RPM drive in there for extra space and for the linux OS but it was spun down most of the time. I posted on here a while back the difference from a laptop HDD to a SSD to the NVME drives but I would have to try and find it. Just to go from a HDD to an offbrand SSD is a big jump. As far as desktop drives, used to be a lot of them were 7200rpm, now most are actually 5400rpm as well. The are still faster than the old 7200rpm drives though because they have a much higher storage density. They still don't compete with a 7200RPM drive of the same size but are ok for most tasks.
