HDDs are mechanical contraptions, yes, but they're some of the most precise mechanical contraptions ever made on Earth.
I've heard stories of people designing missile guidance systems who were shocked by how much more precise disk drives are.
It's like what you'd expect to see on an alien starship, if the aliens distrust solid-state tech and like machines with moving parts, but are still as technologically advanced as you'd expect aliens with starships to be.
