[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1839322, member: 46727"] Patrick: I can't find it now. EveryMac shows that most of the older models had a 7200 RPM drive and it appears that the 21.5" models they show likewise came with 7200 RPM drives. I'm not sure that is correct for all the models though. I know my 2011 21.5" iMac had a 7200 RPM drive but I believe some later models had only a 5400 RPM drive. The faster larger 7200 RPM drives were optional. I don't know where I saw the 5" vs 3.5". I could possibly be thinking of the older PPC iMacs? [/QUOTE]
