WD Elements 6TB External HDD - RPM?

Hi All, I am trying to confirm the RPM of the WD Elements 6TB External HDD but am having no luck on the web finding it. Can anyone help? is it 5400 or 7200? Thanks

It will most likely be a WD Blue hard drive inside the enclosure

which is 5400 rpm

if it’s a WD Green … then definitely also 5400 rpm
