Platter hard disks have a notably special construction. Inside the drive there is a mechanism with moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but this design delivers an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The crucial criterion that determines the speed of a hard disk is the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). With the Seagate SkyHawk AI 20TB, you would get 7200 rev/min RPM. This should delight the more demanding users, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. File access speed and stability is also determined by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Seagate hard drive includes a 512 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their speedy reading.
In order to mount the Seagate SkyHawk AI 20TB in your laptop or other device, you need a 3.5" slot. All communication with the computer takes place via the SATA III interface, boasting a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. The technology ranks among the best HDD data transfer solutions available and delivers a throughput of 600 MB/s.
