For what it is worth to anyone, I picked up this drive for $90 in-store and it shows 5900RPM; not 7200RPM as some have seen.

Sorry you didn't get the 7200 rpm version. Looks like most of the online orders are 7200 rpm and it's hit or miss on the in-store ones.

I got mine online and got a 7200 RPM drive. Serial number on the box = NAOLXCB3 made in China.
My average speed is 130 MB's vs.145 MB's. Any idea for the reason of the variance in this category?

I purchased mine online as well. It's disappointing, but not a big deal. I'll roll the dice and see what I get when I do an in-store exchange. I'm going to keep whatever I get next.

It looks like most buyers online are getting a 7200RPM drive and some instore are getting a 5900 rpm drive. This drive has USB 3.0 and is a different model than the one you got.

Keep in mind that SATA 2 or SATA 3 makes absolutely no difference in the speed of these drives. They can't even saturate SATA 2's bandwidth.

Yeah, but when they get overly hot the heat radiates through the plastic case. Just use a 9" AC table fan on it and it will be fine. Got lots of fans for 75% off at Target. ;)
