Is there any freeware software that will tell me how fast my HD is? I
have a Dell I6000 and I've heard different people saying their HD is
4200, 5400, and 7200rpm, so I'm just wondering what Dell shipped me
since they seem to be very inconsistent w/what parts they ship. I have
sisoft sandra 2005 installed but i can't find a module that will tell me.

Easiest way is to pull the drive and look! But most of the HD utilities from
the drive makers will ID the drives.

Not really what you are asking, but hdtune.com has a nice benchmarker.

I usually look up the drive in Device Mangler and Google that part
number.

Worked like a charm (too lazy to take out HD). Bad news though, my HD
was only 4200rpm/2mb cache :-(
