    I know for a fact that the Best Buy model that i have is a 160GB at 5,400rpm. It is a HITACHI Travelstar 5K160, and the model number for it is HTS541616J9SA00. I looked it up in the device manager, and then ran the model number on the Internet/Hitatchi website.

    Here are the specs;

    Both Seagate 5400.3 and Western Digital 160GB are 5400rpm too, Seagate is faster though.
    As for the 200GB Toshiba MK-2035GSS it is 4200rpm drive contrary to what some reviews say.
    This is probably because Everest claims it to be 5400rpm even though Toshiba’s website clearly states 4200rpm.

    I looked at specs of 5920G in MicroCenter store and it said 160GB 4200RPM, so I wasn't sure, but it's good to know
