How efficient is CS5.5 on a 7200 RPM HDD to edit HD footage?

I presently have two Seagate Cheetah HD -146.8 GB internal 3.5" SAS 15Krpm 16MB in RAID 0. This is the recommended configuration from Adobe to manage uncompressed HD footage.
If I install the Production Premium on a 7200 RPM HD, would it be the same efficiency as the RAID 0 configuration to edit HD footage?
I also have an Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition/ 3.2 GHz processor, a ASUS P6T DELUXE /OC PALM MOTHERBOARD 1 390.00 390.00 AB Motherboard - ATX - iX58 - LGA1366 Socket - Serial ATA-300, and a Quadro CX Graphics Card NVIDIA PCIE 1.5GB with 24 GB of RAM. I also have a 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD for storage.

To Mylenium. You're right, it's not about the footage. The Raid 0 configuration at 15000 rpm is for the Adobe Premium CS5.5 64 bit. When you open Premiere, After Effects or Photoshop, it's incredibly fast because of the Mercury Engine. And you can playback HD footage in real-time without rendering. That's what Adobe and most experts recommend. But I was wondering how the Premium CS5.5 performs when installed on a regular 7200 rpm HD.

Recommendations for 750 GB 7200 rpm HDD

I would like to upgrade the 500 GB 7200 rpm HDD on my 2010 MBP to something larger but with the same rpm. Is there a 750 GB drive out there?

Dead hard drive: 7200 RPM HDD compatible with a L500-19X Satellite?

Last night, i believe the HDD of my 2 and a half year old L500-19X Satellite died. When I tried to boot, it hung up on the windows icon, and when I try rebooting, it asks me if I want to try some kind of boot recovery function...but when I go to that, it hangs up with only the background displayed. So there seems no way to access the Windows recover functions saved on the hard drive. I do not have an external HDD case, so I can't really tell if the HDD is turning or not.
I bought a new HDD - it is a 500 GB 7200 RPM Seagate. I used the Toshiba recovery disks, however, once the laptop uploaded all the data and tried to boot, it would always hang up, saying that it cannot complete windows installation, and I should try rebooting...which only results in it hanging again. Desperate to have a functional computer, I also tried installing Ubuntu, but the Ubuntu installation also failed after a few minutes, giving me an error message saying the HDD is probably bad or the laser of the CD drive dirty (it appears to be clean).
My question is: could the problem be that I am using a 7200 RPM drive? I checked the specs of the original drive, and it is only 5400 RPM. Or is the new HDD probably defective?
If anyone can think of anything else that would cause this problem, I would appreciate any tips you can give me! I am *pretty* sure that the motherboard and the rest of the hardware are sound, since it seemed to operate fine when reading the backup DVDs and the Ubuntu DVD - it only had problems when trying to access the HDD.
Thanks!!

I thought it might use the advanced-format technology. But that's apparently not the case.

Is 7200 RPM HDD a problem for the MAc Mini?

I need to replace my Mac-mini HDD. I purchased a Travelstar 500Gb Drive.
It is 7200 RPM.
Will I have any problems? I understand most mac mini 2.26Ghz HDDs are 5200 RPMs.

I put one of those into my 2010 Mac Mini almost a year ago and it kicks butt on the 5400 RPM HDD.

Does 7200 Rpm HDD's work on the new MacBook?

Hi, I was wondering does 7200 rpm harddrives work on the new MB?
Such like this one:
HDD Scorpio/320GB 2.5" SATA 7200rpm 16MB

You don't have to install OSX on the new hard drive if you have an external enclosure to put he new hard drive in. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to mirror my internal 60GB to the 200GB external and then swapped the drives out. The reason Apple doesn't offer the 7200rpm drives in the MacBook is to differentiate product lines. Nothing more. Some drives are thicker than others though. I'm not sure if the new MacBook has the same or more internal space for a replacement drive.

7200 rpm HDD on 13" MBP

Can I upgrade the HDD in the 2012 13" MBP to 750GB 7200 rpm to improve performance?

As it stands, the user manual is not available online on Apple's website. http://www.ifixit.com/ and http://www.macsales.com/ are good places to look for upgrade instructions, if for some reason your manual is missing.

750GB 7200 RPM HDD for dv6t

What happened to the high performance drives 7200 RPM for the dv6t quad laptops? Should I settle for a 5400 RPM or is the performance difference that significant? Thanks...

Hi,
Probably you can not see the differences BUT some improvemets for sure. There are few articles about this but they all out of date. SSD is the way to go but still very expensive. I would go for the bigger HDD & faster RPM.
Regards.

Which is better 7200 RPM HDD or SSD for laptop upgrade to boost rendering times?

This is my current setup
RAM: 8GB
Processor: Intel Core i7-3630QM
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 635M - 2GB
OS: Windows 8.1
Storage: 1TB 5400 RPM HDD
I am going to start editing raw footage in premiere pro. I would like to update my laptop to help with rendering times. Tommorow I will be installing 16GB of RAM. Which will be better for storage a 7200rpm HDD or and SDD drive? I am seeing conflicting views on the web. I figured that this will be the best place to ask, since I am upgrading primarily for this program. I appreciate the help.

No clue what would be conflicting between the two. Both the internal operating speed of data handling and the i/o to the system over any sustained period of time are so vastly higher for a modern and large-ish SSD compared to any HDD that it is a total no-brainer. In fact, on the tweaker's page, they point out that for a really monster system, set up RAID's of multiple SSD's. Lacking that, RAID's of four or five linked fast LARGE HDD's which will be noticeably slower than the SSD option but typically better than single HDD's, even using one for each part of the process.
For both the processing of data to present a view on the monitor during editing and during rendering, it's not the "burst" speed numbers that count ... it's the sustained long-term data transfer counts that matter. Which are different from what many think they are ...

How to upgrade to 7200 rpm hdd on hp dv7 6c43cl win7?

I just bought a 750gb 7200rpm WD scorpio black HDD to upgrade from the 5400rpm hdd that's in the laptop now. I have the recovery CD's for my laptop. I want to be sure I do the installation right and I am wondering if installation of a higher speed drive is a problem on my laptop. (Heat generation?) Will the recovery disks still work for the installation of the original win7on the new, faster hard drive? Anything else I should know prior to install? I am also upgrading from 8gbto 16gb RAM. Thank you, Anne

There shouldn't be any problems. You should be able to use the recovery cd's to set up Win 7 on the new HDD. The 7200rpm HDD might use a bit more power and generate slightly more heat than the 5400rpm HDD, but I doubt you'll notice the difference. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

7200 rpm HDD Choice

Hi, I recently puchased a PB G4 12 1.5Ghz, and I am thinking of upgrading the HDD from the current 80GB to a 100GB RPM.
My question: Does the Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 fit my powerbook?
if it fits, is this HDD a reliable one? or if there are any better alternatives that you would recommend?
Thanks a lot for any helps
regards

OWC has a good selection of drive that fit PBs at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ Look down the left side of the page, as arnie mentioned, your PB can't use an SATA drive, which are used in Apple's Intel-based machines. OWC ships internationally, however, you can probably find your choice of drive locally in UK, too.
If warranty coverage is a consideration, Seagate drives offer a 5 year warranty, and most others offer a 3 year warranty.
As mentioned, regular backup is essential. Some take the working drives out of their notebooks, and put them into an external enclosure when they upgrade their hard drives, and use it for backup.
If you scan these discussions, you'll find several who have the Hitatchi 7200rpm drives and seem pleased with them.

Can I replace the 5400 RPM drive with a seagate 7200 RPM drive in a Lenovo B570

Hi there,
I have a Lenovo B570-1068AFU system that comes with a 5400 RPM HDD. Does this system suppor 7200 RPM HDD upgrades? I would like to replace the current 5400 RPM with a segate 7200 RPM. Possible?
Thank you for all your replies.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To add a little to what Tanuj said, you may have a (fixable) issue when moving to the new drive.
Depending on when your laptop was built it may have a legacy (512-byte sector) or Advanced Format (4k-byte sector) hard drive. Many/most larger drives on the market are AF. If you migrate from legacy to AF, you may notice that Windows Update has stopped working. Windows 7 is supposed to handle AF drives correctly, but there are many cases where it doesn't until updated, or an additional driver is installed. The situation is worse with XP, but also fixable.
You may well not have any problems with this, but if you do I have some notes and links to fixes over here:

7200 rpm in 13" macbook pro?

Just looking for some input if anyone has had experience with putting a 7200 rpm HDD in their 13" macbook pro? OWC offers a 750GB 7200RPM Seagate Momentus, http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Seagate/ST9750420AS/
This drive comes up as a compatible upgraded for my machine.... but for some reason Apple doesn't offer a 7200 RPM option for this size, so I'm a little concerned about the potential for added noise / heat ... Anybody out there try this and notice any extra noise or heat from the faster spinning drive ?

I upgraded with a 7200 rpm drive from OWC also, in my case Hitachi 500g. The drive actually makes less noise than the Toshiba I removed. The new drive really makes the MacBookPro feel much more responsive. It runs no hotter than the original drive, nor is there any noticeable vibration. As Summer66 I bought OWC's kit enclosure deal and am using the original drive in an external case as a bootable backup with CCC, which is included in the OWC deal. OWC even has an installation video (although at this time it's for the 2010 model, the two machines seem to be identical in terms of installation.) Went so well I'm thinking of putting one in my 2009 MBP. Good luck.

How can I tell if my HD is a 7200 RPM One?

I bought a MBP 17" High Res, from an apple store. With a 160 GB HD. On the outside of the box it said that the HD was 7200 RPM, which came as a nice surprise, because online they list the 160 HD as 5200 RPM. I was going to order the 200 GB HD 7200 RPM, but that was only available online and to order. As I could not wait, I decided to go for the 160. Except I would like to know where I can find that it's a 7200 RPM Drive, as my friend tells me its a mistake, they don't make 160 HD at 7200 RPM!!!! How can they say it on the box? Can someone tell me where I will find this information. I have looked under
about this mac.... but dont see the rpm anywhere.... Thanks

I read that there were a lot of problems with seagate drives. do you know if that was just a batch of them?
Supposedly, it's just 60 and 80 GB, 5400 RPM, drives with firmware version 7.01 that are affected. The firmware version is the "Revision" in the System Profiler listing. Mine's "3.DAE".
Mine seems to be okay so far. I just got it by luck wasn't expecting it when I bought it at the apple store, thought they were all the 5400 ones.....
Who knows? Maybe it was a build to order that someone didn't claim. Or maybe the had a few extra 7200 RPM 160s left when they quit offering them as an option online, but not enough to keep advertising them. So they just stuck them in.

How do I know if a core I5 and 5400 rpm drive is ok for me or if I should get a core I7, 7200 rpm dr

Buying a new laptop. My old Dell Inspiron is giving up the ghost.
How do I know if a core I5, 5400 rpm drive is good enough for me or if I should get a core I7, 7200 rpm drive laptop? Also can I get an I5 with 7200 rpm or an I7 with 5400 rpm? Need some recommendations. I am not a computer expert so need some good explanation on what to get and why? I don't do video games on the laptop. Mainly use it for mail, Excel, word, internet searches, internet videos, etc.
This question was solved.

I actually have the Envy Ultrabook is why I asked. HP provided me one for a testing unit so we here on the Forum could keep abreast of their latest offerings. The mSSD accel cache is amazing. It gives ultrafast boot times and hard drive access. It does make the laptop hard to work with for tekkies, but for most users who will not try to monkey around with the OS, like dual boot with Linux or reload with a clean install of your own Windows 7 and other similar stuff it is a great performer...no need for a 7200 rpm drive.

5400 / 7200 RPM. How To Check That?

hi guys.
the box with a brand new external usb drive i am planning to purchase from my local computer store doesn't say whether it's as fast as 5400 or 7200 rpm.
how do i normally check that parameter through my computer? i tried checking that on my current usb drive with system profiler, but can't see such a section anywhere!

thanks for the reply.
hmm, well i still need to somehow make sure the rotation speed of the usb hard drive i am going to purchase is 7200 rpm
I don't think it really matters from a practical point of view. The maximum sustained transfer speeds you can get out of Hi-Speed USB (USB2) is about 30-35 MB/sec. This is well under the speeds that most current 5400 RPM notebook drives are capable of. For example, a Hitachi Travelstar 5K320 drive is capable of up to 729 Mbit/sec, which is higher than 90 MB/sec.
