just do some reasearch, i found it in 5 minutes. you probably got a 4200 RPM drive if you didn't get one that specifically said "7200 rpm"

shrug, according to that table i found (which i found from dell's website in the details of the 9300) they only have 4200 and 7200 rpm drives.

you want a GOOD bag? Spire USA makes some AWESOME stuff for laptops. A little expensive, but I got a backpack w/ a laptop sleeve that fits the 9300 like a glove for 200 bucks.



And yes, my brothers 9300 is a 5400rpm drive... I would never ever let him have a 4200.... they are just soooo slow.



Oh and his was 1300 out the door... ;)
