Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB Hard Drive Speed

Platter hard disks have a notably special construction. The enclosure conceals a mechanism with moving platters, complete with hard disk heads that read and write the data. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but at the same time you get an excellent price/storage capacity ratio. The crucial criterion that affects the speed of a platter hard disk is RPM - the number of revolutions per minute. With the Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB, you can look forward to 7200 RPM RPM. This is welcome news for people with higher requirements, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. File access speed and stability is also affected by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Seagate HDD features a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their fast retrieval and reading.
