Other Hard Disk Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism with moving platters, complete with hard disk heads that read and write the data. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but this weak point is well-compensated by a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The important parameter that affects the speed of a HDD is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). With the WD Purple Pro 10TB, we have 7200 RPM RPM. This is ideal for demanding users, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data.
