Other HDD Features

Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism that utilises moving platters accompanied by hard disk heads that read and write the data. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but this weak point is well-compensated by an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The key criterion that determines the speed of a HDD is RPM - the number of revolutions per minute. With the Synology HAT5310-18T, we have 7200 rev/min RPM. This is great news for people who demand more from their devices, such as graphic or video editors - in short, people who work with large amounts of data. Data transmission and overall stability is also significantly affected by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Synology platter drive features a 512 MB cache that keeps the last written data for their fast retrieval and reading.

Connecting the Synology Hard Drive

If you want to mount the Synology HAT5310-18T in your computer or other device, it must be equipped with a 3.5" slot. All data transfer happens through the SATA III interface with a speed of 3 Gbit/s. This technology is one of the best HDD data transfer options available and delivers a speed of 600 MB/s.
