Storage Capacity

HDDs have a significant advantage in terms of storage capacity. Due to their design principles, HDDs can easily reach several terabytes of storage, making them an ideal choice for large-scale data storage.

Price

Compared to other storage devices, HDDs are relatively inexpensive. This makes them widely used in cost-effective, large-capacity storage solutions.

Durability

HDDs are relatively sensitive to certain external environmental conditions, such as vibration, but they generally have a long lifespan under normal usage conditions. Due to their mechanical nature, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance.

Speed

HDDs lag behind solid-state drives(SSDs)in terms of read/write speed. This is mainly because the mechanical components limit the data retrieval rate, especially when dealing with large files or during high-load operations. In HDDs, data access speed is affected by the rotation speed of the platters and the positioning speed of the read/write head, which can result in suboptimal performance in scenarios requiring high-speed data transfer.
