- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 4000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Interface(s): USB Type C (USB 3.1 Gen2) (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: What is the RPM of this hard drive and is it 5gb/s, 10 gb/s, or 20 gb/s?
A: I wanted to know this too. Had a hard time finding the answer easily, but was able to piece it together from a few different sources. While the interface is USB 3.1 Gen 2, the internal drive is only a 2.5" platter (5400 RPM) with a SATA III controller - which practically defeats the benefits of the Gen 2 USB interface. If you're looking for performance over any other USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 drive, this isn't it. Most online reviews are hitting a max transfer rates of around 140MB/s, which seem to back this up. You could shuck it and swap in an SSD for some added performance, but at that point you might as well get something else. It look really nice though, so... there's that.
