Other Hard Drive Features

Platter HDDs have a special construction. Inside the drive there is a mechanism with moving platters, complete with disk read and write heads. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but this design delivers a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The crucial parameter that determines the speed of a HDD is the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). With the Seagate Exos 7E8 4TB Base FastFormat SAS, you can look forward to 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This is welcome news for people with higher requirements, such as graphic or video editors - in short, people who work with large amounts of data. Data transmission and overall stability is also impacted by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Seagate HDD includes a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their fast retrieval and reading.
