If you look across the rpm line you should see that the green drive does NOT have a check mark. That means that the green drive does not have a rotation speed of rpms. So, the box is not lying to you.
You just are not reading it correctly. If you were looking for a drive with a rotation speed of rpms, then you should have bought either a Blue drive or a Black drive, based on the chart on the box, itself. The green drive has check marks for what features it supports. Have I fallen into an alternate reality? I have a blue drive. Not a green one. The chart says blue drives run at rpm. My drive is blue. I have a blue one. My humble apologies. I must have said green at the start because of the code, but the box is deffo blue.
I am assuming that the colour of the box determines the colour of the drive? This is all becoming a mystery! As fzabkar already asked, post a photo or scan of the label of the drive itself, minus the serial number. Right I took the back off and this is indeed a green drive. Nowhere does it have the spin speed on the drive itself, only on the packaging, but as the packaging is blue I think this is falsely advertised,as how do you check what the drive is unless you open the packaging?
When the drive is turned on, there's very clearly a spike at exactly Hz See the "Peak" box in the screenshot. This corresponds to 7, RPM. The Hz tone is clearly audible in the recording, and you can hear it increase in pitch as the drive powers up.
There's no question in my mind that this tone is produced by the disk rotation. Hopefully this can resolve the question for you. The results so far indicate that some drives spin faster than what they are rated. As long as they spin faster and not slower, I think the manufactures are not on the hook for anything.
Sell a drive rated for and it spins at , that is a bonus because it is faster. When they sell one rated at and it spins at , then there is a problem.
It may be that some people would prefer a genuine RPM drive with the expectation of lower power consumption, less noise, and higher reliability.
In any case there's no excuse for deceptive specifications. With all the various and changing models of drives available today, IS there even any need to be deceptive with specifications in the first place? This corresponds to the rotational latency of a RPM drive.
An audio spectrum analysis proves that it does in fact spin at RPM. Switch to mobile style. Page 1 of 1.
