Other HDD Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism with moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but this weak point is well-compensated by a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The key parameter that determines the speed of a HDD is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. In case of the Seagate IronWolf 8TB CMR, we have 7200 RPM RPM. It's a great model for more demanding users, for example video editors, graphic artists, people who play PC games, and everybody else who deal with large amounts of data. File access speed and stability is also impacted by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Seagate hard disk is equipped with a 256 MB cache that keeps the last written data for their speedy reading.
