Verification of HDD rpm

[Aparajith]

Hi Guys!!!!!!

I recently bought a 80GB 7200rpm HDD.How do I check if it really is running at 7200rpm and I have not been duped ?

if its a samsung disk the product number should be of the form SP....
Alternately visit the manufacturer's website and look up for corresponding product number...that is all i can help..but i am sure there must be some other way too

Well the harddrive is not from SAMSUNG or SEAGATE but by WESTERN DIGITAL.I checked out on the manufacturer`s site but wanted to make sure about the product.
