The WD Red Pro 12TB hard drive belongs among the high load internal HDDs compatible with NAS data storage solutions. 3.5" HDDs are made chiefly for desktop computers and data centres. One of the key parameters is obviously the rotational speed. The 7200 RPM RPM delivers faster data transmission. The total capacity of the hard drive is 12000 GB. The storage features a 256 MB memory cache. You can link the Western Digital hard drive and a computer or other device takes place through the SATA III interface.
Platter HDDs have a special construction. Inside the drive there is a mechanism that uses moving platters, complete with disk read and write heads. These moving parts are not particularly resistant against shock or impact, but on the upside, this design also delivers its amazing price/capacity ratio. The key criterion that affects the speed of a hard disk is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. In case of the WD Red Pro 12TB, you can look forward to 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This should delight the more demanding users, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. File access speed and overall stability is also affected the embedded buffer memory known as cache. The Western Digital hard disk includes a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their fast retrieval and reading.
If you want to mount the WD Red Pro 12TB in your PC or other device, you need a 3.5" slot. Data transfer happens using the SATA III interface with a speed of 3 Gbit/s. This technology ranks among the most popular HDD data transfer solutions available and delivers a speed of 600 MB/s.
