[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 774092, member: 24160"] All Mac notebooks ship with 5400 rpm drives unless you pay for an upgrade. Almost any drive that it could have been replaced with would be at least equal to, if not surpass the speed of the original. This really is a non-issue. Ask the person you bought it from. Either the original drive failed and had to be replaced or it is the original. There is no reason why anyone would go thru the effort of changing the hard drive in a notebook because they have a spare one that is $5 cheaper than the one inside. Apple does not use top of the line drives in original equipment notebooks. You can buy 250GB to 320GB drives all day long for $65-$75. [/QUOTE]
