Other Hard Drive Features

Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism that utilises moving platters, complete with hard disk heads that read and write the data. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but on the upside, this design also delivers an excellent price/storage capacity ratio. The crucial parameter that determines the speed of a hard disk is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). With the Seagate Exos X20 20TB SATA, you get 7200 RPM RPM. It's a great model for more demanding users, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. File access speed and stability is also significantly affected by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Seagate HDD includes a 256 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their prompt retrieval and reading.
