A Few questions about 4TB My Book Essential

New to the forums so forgive my noobiness…

After spending 20 solid minutes searching for an answer I couldnt believe I couldnt find it!

What is the drive speed of the My Book Essentials 4TB"  5700 or 7200 RPM

I currently use a 3TB Elements drive connected to my PC, I believe this is 7200RPM, its a solid and reliable workhorse but unfortunatley I now need 4TB and the Elements range doesnt do one :frowning:  My drive is used for everyday stuff, constantly adding Music and Video files onto it, and accessing it to burn DVDs etc…

My second question is, would a My Book Essential operate basically the same way with same speeds, wake up times etc as my old faithfull Elements? I see it pushed towards the backup only market…

Any advise, issues, answers greatly appreciated

To my understanding that information is not disclosed by WD because the internal drive on the my book might vary depending on availability.
