Ask iBAM: Checking Out Your System

1469 days ago in Ask iBAM by Brent | 1 Comment

I just got a question from fellow iBAM reader Efrain. Here’s the question:

“I wanted to see what the specs were on my Hard Drive for my MacBook Pro. I know it’s supposed to be a 200GB 7200rpm hard drive, but I just wanted to confirm.”

At first thought, the easy choice for me was the System Profiler, but upon checking my system via the Profiler, I noticed that almost everything Efrain asked for was listed (and more), but I didn’t see anything for hard disk rpm. Now, granted, I could have missed it so thus the reason for this post.

There is nothing like the iBAM community I.Q.

What’s your favorite system info tool?

Filemaker Bento… The Fresh Maker…

Which came first, iMovie or Final Cut?

I use Mactracker to find out specs on all Apple products… http://www.mactracker.ca/. Only other way that I know of is copy the drive model # and google it. I haven't found a tool that tells you the exact rpm of the drive in your mac?

Unwrapped a new Mac?
