10,000 and 15,000 rpm drives were made obsolete by SSDs and were discontinued several years ago. They are slower than many modern 7,200 rpm drives.
Comment on What's the difference between a $50 HDD and a $200 HDD?

Rpm is a thing to look at. A 7,200 drive is faster than a 4,200, but slower than a 10,000.

As someone that works at a storage devices company - we do still manufacture 10K HDDs. They are faster than the 7200s of the same spec, by nature. All 2.5” drives for enterprise systems. And will actually continue selling them until ~2030. That said, they’re all but obsolete at this point, and aren’t really being developed on any more.

Sorry, RPM is rotations per minute. How fast the drive platers are spinning inside the drive.
