Seagate Exos X14 10TB Standard SAS Hard Drive Speed

Platter HDDs have a special construction. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism with moving platters, complete with hard disk heads that facilitate reading and writing of data. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but on the upside, this design also delivers its amazing price/capacity ratio. The important criterion that determines the speed of a HDD is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. In case of the Seagate Exos X14 10TB Standard SAS, you get 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This should delight the more demanding users, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. System responsivity and overall stability is also affected the embedded buffer memory known as cache. The Seagate hard disk includes a 256 MB cache that keeps the last written data for their fast retrieval and reading.
