Other HDD Features

Platter HDDs have a special construction. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism that uses moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These moving parts are not particularly resistant against shock or impact, but this design delivers an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The crucial criterion that affects the speed of a hard disk is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. With the WD Red Pro 10TB, you can look forward to 7200 rev/min RPM. It's a great model for more demanding users, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data.
