All current iBook drives spin at 4200 rpm. I know that Toshiba makes 5400 rpm drives these days, but they're not built into any iBooks yet.

The 700MHz/30GB model has the Toshiba MK3018GAS drive installed.
(Toshiba doesn't provide info for this drive; but I think the MK3018GAP is a pretty close cousin.)

I would guess the lower model has the Toshiba MK2018GAS drive:

The specs says 4200 rpm for both.
