    RPM of Hard Disk

    I have tried the command lshw to check the RPM of the disk. It appears not to be listed.
    Is there a command that will tell me the rpm of the disk?

    Thanks

    You could install sg3-utils and use
    Code:
    sginfo -g /dev/sdX
    to get rotational speed.

      Works with SCSI drives. If one has IDE (ATA) or SATA drives, will this utility work on them?

        Thank you for the information.

        Am I right in assuming that there is no existing command that will reveal the rotation speed of the hard drive?

        I tried using Google for the actual hard disk, but the code numbers varied somewhat from my drive, as did the capacity.

        Best wishes.

          Yes, sginfo should work with ATAPI devices.

            Not on mine...

                If lm-sensors has been properly installed,
                Code:
                sensors | grep -i fan
