it is Revolutions per minute
and this is an example
A computer's hard drive rotates at 3600, 4200, 5400, or 7200 rpm on IDE types and 10 000 or 15 000 rpm on some SATA and SCSI and Fibre Channel drives.
it is the speed of the rotations on the hard disk
which mean how fast will the hard disk rotates to find the data you are requesting

RPM = Revolutions per Minute

Usually the higher RPM drives also have faster data transfer rates (but not always).
