Not at all.
Many laptop vendors are already shipping 7200 RPM drives, and many older
desktops can still use 5400 rpm drives.
There's no easy way to query a drive for this, without using the drive mfg's
internal commands. This information is not typically available to the
public.



Well I think that's every way possible of not answering your question. Sorry
