Other Hard Drive Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. Inside the drive there is a mechanism that uses moving platters accompanied by disk read and write heads. 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 crucial criterion that determines the speed of a hard drive is RPM - the number of revolutions per minute. With the Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB CMR, you can look forward to 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This is great news for people who demand more from their devices, for example video editors, graphic artists, people who play PC games, and everybody else who deal with large amounts of data. File access speed and stability is also influenced by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Seagate HDD is equipped with a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their fast retrieval and reading.
