Thanks a lot for the info. I tried yet another monitoring program, and got different numbers again in some of the fields, and the warning from HD Tune shows nothing on Smart Check. At this point I'm not too worried about it, I did an error scan with HD Tune and there were none, HD Tune reads the drive correctly, showing 16mb buffer, doesn't show the rpm but shows it as 86mb/s which seems correct for a 7200rpm hdd. Not sure why speccy doesn't read it correctly, but thanks for the info!

Ok, is this warning of any concern? First time I have ever really looked at these specs on a HDD

HP did the refurb, I tried HD Tune but it doesn't give me the RPM, it's just blank in that section. It does give me a warning in one section, I'll post a screen shot later today. I'll try a couple other programs and see what I can find out and report back.

I'm not sure if it was just misinformation on Bestbuy's description, or Speccy reading it wrong, but the refurb HP Pavilion Slimline s5610f I just bought was suppose to have a 7200rpm HDD. These are the specs from HP http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02479710&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN#N455 Here is the BB description http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/hewlett-packard-hp-pavilion-slimline-desktop-featuring-amd-athlon-ii-250-dual-core-processor-s5610f-refurbished-s5610f/10174489.aspx?path=5e99fd727471c6600371ada914375cf8en02 I looked around and everything points to the WDC WD64 00AAKS-65Z7B0 SATA Disk Device as being 7200rpm. Speccy also lists it as a 2mb cache which I don't think is correct either, but I'm not too sure. Any help would be appreciated.
