Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. The enclosure conceals a mechanism with moving platters, complete with disk read/write heads. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but on the upside, this design also delivers an excellent price/storage capacity ratio. The important criterion that affects the speed of a hard drive is the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). In case of the Seagate Exos X18 16TB 512e/4kn SAS, you get 7200 RPM revolutions per minute.

Data transmission and stability is also affected the embedded buffer memory known as cache. The Seagate hard drive includes a 256 MB cache that keeps the last written data for their speedy reading.
