pretty simple hard drives 90 Hz = 5400/min or 120 Hz = 7200/min

"idiocy" we could do without (sorry, couldn't find a better adjective for it). If we are to think of this property as "periodical" we could certainly think of replacing it with Hz (or a prefixed "version" of it, like cHz or mHz). If we think of "rotational speed" (in angular form) then we'd be talking about this in rad/s, I'd think. > > Any ideas/suggestions from our technical gurus/experts here, please?
