I believe by moving parts he is referring to the distinction between a standard Hard Drive and a Solid State Drive, the former being the one with moving parts. So yes, this hard drive has moving parts.

The WD My Passport 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive is a traditional hard drive, meaning it does have moving parts inside. If you are looking for a drive without moving parts, consider a Solid-State Drive (SSD) instead.
