Platter HDDs have a special construction. Inside the drive there is a mechanism that uses moving platters accompanied by disk read and write heads. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but this weak point is well-compensated by an excellent price/storage capacity ratio. The important criterion that determines the speed of a hard disk is the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). With the Seagate Exos X18 18TB 512e/4kn SATA, you can look forward to 7200 rev/min RPM.
