Plastic HDD

Plastic

— inexpensive and at the same time very practical material. Plastic is lightweight, can be made in any colour, and although its strength is lower than that of metal, it is more than sufficient for use under normal conditions. Actually, in order to split the plastic case, you need a blow of such force that the hardware of the hard drive will become unusable not from depressurization, but from concussion. A noticeable drawback of this material is perhaps weak scratch resistance — however, this moment is purely aesthetic, it does not affect the functionality of the drive. As a result, most external hard drives today are made of plastic.
