As one Windows 10 user points out, computer manufacturers still offer the 5400 as the base for both the consumer and business computer models. However, its limitations are now becoming more obvious. 5400 RPM hard drives are no longer suitable for users who need to access data quickly. Moreover, many users report that Windows 10 often uses 100% of the disk on 5400 RPM hard drives, slowing down all the apps and programs. Here, you can’t work at speeds that people are used to working. I guess it is just my experience, but the average to advanced customer can’t perform at a reasonable speed like they could previously. And honestly, I have stopped recommending or allow the purchase of 7200 HDDs in desktops: unless the desktop has tons of RAM and a super fast CPU. Goodbye HDDs. It has been a long, long relationship. We can still be friends though: data friends, with no benefits. However, they do offer a series of advantages. For example, a 5400 RPM laptop consumes less power, resulting in better battery life and less heat. The fact that 5400 RPM hard drives are slow on Windows 10 has forced many users to stick to their existing OS. They perceive this limitation as another argument against Microsoft’s Windows 10 upgrade invitation. What do you think? Has the end come for Windows 10 on 5400 RPM drives?
