Other Hard Drive Features

Platter HDDs have a special construction. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism with moving platters, complete with disk read/write heads. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but this design delivers an excellent price/storage capacity ratio. The important parameter that determines the speed of a hard drive is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. In case of the Seagate SkyHawk AI 8TB, you get 7200 RPM RPM. 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. System responsivity and stability is also affected by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Seagate platter drive is equipped with a 256 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their fast retrieval and reading.
