Other HDD Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. Inside the drive there is a mechanism with moving platters, complete with disk read/write heads. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but on the upside, this design also delivers an excellent price/storage capacity ratio. The important parameter that affects the speed of a HDD is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. In case of the Seagate Exos X16 16TB, you get 7200 RPM RPM. This is great news for people who demand more from their devices, 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 significantly affected by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Seagate platter drive includes a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their fast retrieval and reading.
