How do you check the HDD/RPM on the macbook pro?

Thanks for helping!

^ Hi, I already tried that, but it doesn't tell me about the hard drive and rpm.. it just shows other specs of the laptop. Unless I am blind and can't see it?

If you can find your drive's model number you can google it and find the specs on it

No, I wanted to find out what the specs were on my laptop. I guess I thought it would show on the laptop like it would for GHz and etc. Aaah that sucks, because I know what my specs are, but I wanted to confirm that it's actually in there. lol

In most cases; the laptop will be around 5400 RPM and what do you mean check the HDD? Check size, manufacturer etc? If it's manufacturer, then in most cases it will be Seagate.

However, it depends how old your mac is, what type of mac you got (MacBook Pro or just the regular). If it's in the case of a regular MacBook, then you'll most definitely have a Seagate hard drive and it runs at 5400 RPM.

^ Hi there, it's the latest macbook pro, however I bought it off of someone. And it says it's 500GB/7200RPM, but I want to find out if it says that in the macbook too. I swear I saw these things showing in the laptop on some sellers listings. But I don't know, could just be my eyes I guess.

Nope, you really can't find that information just off the MacBook Pro. You'd just have to go to the System Profiler and then just look at the model number (then look it up); sometimes the model can indicate the speed of the drive and generation of the drive.
