they run at about 6 hundred rpm each...

well sometimes you can tell the speed by the size of the HD. 60GB or higher is usually 7200RPM and thing lower then 60GB is probbly 5200RPM or less

[jonathan_tijuana]

both of them are 120 and 7200RPM one of them doesnt work, i want to know which is the one that is working, the 8mb or 2mb.

cant you open your comp up, check model numbers and search on the manufacturers site?

i did but this is what it say

DiamondMax Plus 9
Maximum Capacity of 200.0 GB
Ultra ATA/133 & SATA 150 Compatible Models
9.3 ms Average Seek Time
2MB & 8MB Cache Buffer
FDB Motors
7200 RPM.

It should tell you their model numbers in device manager

or even easier, why not download Aida32 and look in Storage>Windows Storage>Your Hard Drive>and look under Buffer Size, should be there

dm9 is automatically a 7200rpm model no Qs asked

That's not what he wants to know, he knows it's a 7200rpm, he wants to know buffer size, either 8mb cache or 2mb cache
