Platter HDDs have a special construction. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism that uses moving platters, complete with disk read and write heads. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but at the same time you get a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The crucial criterion that determines the speed of a HDD is RPM - the number of revolutions per minute. In case of the Synology HAT5310-20T, you can look forward to 7200 rev/min revolutions per minute. This should delight the more demanding users, for example video editors, graphic artists, people who play PC games, and everybody else who deal with large amounts of data. Data transmission and stability is also significantly affected the embedded buffer memory known as cache. The Synology hard disk includes a 512 MB cache that stores the last used data for their prompt retrieval and reading.
In order to mount the Synology HAT5310-20T in your PC or other device, it must be equipped with a 3.5" slot. All data transfer takes place using the SATA III interface with a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. This technology is one of the best HDD data transfer options available and delivers a throughput of 600 MB/s.
