| 89677 | 2002-10-15 23:21:00 | I just ran one of those system checking programs which told me all about my machine. Most of it was correct, but one thing stuck out: My 5400rpm secondary drive was listed as being 4500rpm. Is this the program giving the wrong info, or was I ripped off when I bought the drive? Mike. PS the program was that AIDA program everyone was talking about a few days ago. |

| 89678 | 2002-10-15 23:44:00 | It's a Quantum Fireball LCT20 20gb (supposedly 5400rpm :)) Mike. |

| 89679 | 2002-10-16 00:04:00 | Have you tried some other programs. I haven't heard of a 4500rpm drive before. |

| 89680 | 2002-10-16 00:10:00 | HMPH I just went to the Maxtor site, and they list the LCT20 as being a 4500rpm drive. Maybe I should go back to the place I bought it and ask them to upgrade it for me for free :) Mike. |

| 89681 | 2002-10-16 05:03:00 | mmmm interesting. if you paid for it you should have got it. 4500rpm drives are normally quite old (depending on what u call old ;-) ). |
