2A SSD does not have a RPM value. Where did you get this information from? I cannot answer this question until the source of this information is known. – Ramhound – 2013-08-27T19:47:40.817

@Ramhound it's not an SSD, it's a HDD, as stated in the post.

2@Huskehn - Explain this: Solid State Disk (SSD) : Format : 2.5" the user never actually said it was a HDD. I have an answer saved once I understand where this log file came from. Besides I already knew it was a HDD I was going from the log file – Ramhound – 2013-08-27T20:00:34.923

You can defrag, but unless things are seriously fragmented it is only going to be a small boost. A 240/256GB or 480/512gb SSD will make your laptop scream way faster than any tweaks. – cybernard – 2013-08-27T22:19:33.390

Question is too vague to be answerable. – psusi – 2013-08-27T23:16:00.033

You can't speedup the Samsung SpinPoint ST750LM022 750GB. This is a slow 5400rpm HDD. If your laptop supports mSATA, buy a mSATA SSD and install Windows on it and use the HDD as storage drive for data.
