In the olden days hard disks wrote data on spinning platters the size of dinner plates with heads the size of Sharpie markers, and the controllers were a Z80 microprocessor on a card with a few kB of ROM and maybe as much as 16kB of RAM. Everything past those days though, the data is very thoroughly scrambled for spectral whitening before being written to disk so there's no practical difference between /dev/urandom and /dev/zero. |
