I haven't found an official spec for the RPM on the drive Korny posted. It's probably 5400RPM, but even that should put it on level footing with the internal drive.
Yeah, probably 5400 if they're not announcing it specifically. The higher bit density, though, means that more bits pass under the read head in a given amount of time, so the read rate would actually be higher than the built-in drive.
