No it does not. 7200 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) applies only to (traditional) rotating platter hard disks. The Samsung Portable T5 500GB External SSD is a Solid State Disk (SSD) that has no moving parts. In general, this disk is capable of transferring data much faster than a 7200 RPM hard disk. The actual performance will be determined by a number of factors such as the type of interface in use (USB 2.0, USB 3.1 Gen. 1, USB 3.1 Gen. 2), the type of the other device (e.g. disk) sending or receiving the data, the speed of the computer, and the number and size of the files. A few large files will transfer faster than many small files that contain the same total amount of data.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a Solid State Drive (SSD) so there are no moving parts, i.e. no 7200 rpm. This drive will be significantly faster than any 7200 rpm HDD.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. Solid State Drives don't have moving mechanical parts like regular hard drives. In other words it doesn't store data in a rotating disk. It is like a giant flash drive.
