Platter HDDs have a special construction. Inside the drive there is a mechanism with moving platters accompanied by hard disk heads that read and write the data. These moving parts are not particularly resistant against shock or impact, but this weak point is well-compensated by an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The important parameter that determines the speed of a hard disk is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. With the Synology HAT5310-8T, you get 7200 rev/min RPM. This is ideal for demanding users, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. File access speed and stability is also determined the embedded buffer memory known as cache. The Synology hard disk includes a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their fast retrieval and reading.
If you want to install the Synology HAT5310-8T in your laptop or other device, you need a 3.5" slot. All communication with the computer takes place using the SATA III interface with a speed of 3 Gbit/s. This technology ranks among the most popular HDD data transfer options available and delivers a throughput of 600 MB/s.
