Other HDD Features

Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism with moving platters, complete with disk read and write heads. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but at the same time you get its amazing price/capacity ratio. The crucial parameter that affects the speed of a HDD is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. With the WD Purple Pro 10TB, we have 7200 rev/min RPM. This is welcome news for people with higher requirements, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data.
