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 facilitate reading and writing of data. 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 RPM - the number of revolutions per minute.

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.
