Other HDD Features
Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. The enclosure conceals a mechanism with moving platters, complete with hard disk heads that facilitate reading and writing of data. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but at the same time you get a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The key criterion that determines the speed of a HDD is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). In case of the Seagate Exos X18 16TB 512e/4kn SATA, you would get 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This is great news for people who demand more from their devices, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. File access speed and overall stability is also impacted the embedded buffer memory known as cache. The Seagate hard disk includes a 256 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their fast retrieval and reading.
