Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. The enclosure conceals a mechanism that uses moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but at the same time you get an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The key parameter that determines the speed of a hard disk is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. With the WD Red Plus 6TB, you would get 5400 rev/min revolutions per minute. You can find these drives mainly in PCs and other devices meant for standard office work. Data transmission and overall stability is also affected by the disk buffer - the so-called cache.

All communication with the computer happens using the SATA III interface, boasting a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. This technology is one of the most popular HDD data transfer options available and delivers a speed of 600 MB/s.
