Key Features
Designation dictates the type of machine the Hard drive is made for.
Designation
Desktop Computer
Interface
Serial ATA, IDE/EIDE
Internal Internal enclosure refers to all hard drives that are installed inside desktop or laptop computers. External External hard drives are those that are set up outside of a computer, usually connected via a wire. Plug-In Plug-In Modules are those hard drives that are essentially removable or swappable.
This is the actual physical size of the drive.
Spindle speed is the speed at which the drive's memory disc (or platter) spins. A higher spin rate improves both positioning and transfer performance for sequential operations. This means that the faster it spins, the faster data can be read off of the disk for single operations.

Special Features
S.M.A.R.T Technology
External Data Transfer Rate is used to measure how quickly a hard drive is able to move data to the system. This is highly dependent on the interface type used.
External Data Transfer Rate
300 MBps
Refers to the time a drive takes to locate a particular piece of data.
The interface is the type of connection (such as FireWire or USB) used by your hard drive. Home systems will mostly use an IDE interface. Professional systems can use higher quality interface, as SCSI.
Interface (Detailed)
IDE, Serial ATA, Serial ATA II
Mean Time Between Failures the average time a device will function before failing. MTBF ratings are measured in hours and indicate the sturdiness of hard disk drives.
Other Features
Platform refers to the type of machine with which a hard drive is compatible.
