This drive also features high levels of reliability, with 600,000 load/unload cycles, 1 in 10 14 non-recoverable read errors per bits read, a workload rate of up to 300TB per year, and a 1.2 million hour MTTF. Shock protection is provided by a rotational vibration sensor, while heat endurance allows this drive to operate in harsh environments.
Only buy HDDs for bulk media storage and backups; never use an HDD as your primary boot drive for Windows. Look for CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) drives over SMR (Shingled) for better write performance. Available from $119.99.
Mechanical hard disk drives (HDDs) are cheap to own, using a few watts of power while spinning. The main hidden cost is cloud backup subscriptions, as HDDs will eventually fail and data recovery is exorbitant.
Common Failure Modes
HDDs consist of spinning platters and delicate read/write heads, making them highly susceptible to physical shock and mechanical wear. When an HDD fails, it is replaced, not repaired, unless expensive data recovery is required.

Mechanical hard drives have moving parts that wear out over time. They typically function reliably for several years before mechanical fatigue sets in.
