Why would you care about it? Seeing if you got what you purchased?

There's no classes or API function that specifically check this. You'd have to use low-level DeviceIO operations to get the status information from the drive itself. Exactly how this is done, like what commands to send and how to interpret the results, depend entirely on the drive.


But, if all you're doing is checking the drive RPM once, then you can use the diags disk, that comes from the manufacturer with the drive, to check the spindle speed. If not, download it from the manufacturers site. They all have them.
