Other Hard Drive Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism that uses moving platters, complete with hard disk heads that facilitate reading and writing of data. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but this design delivers an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The crucial parameter that determines the speed of a platter hard disk is RPM - the number of revolutions per minute. With the WD Gold 10TB, you can look forward to 7200 RPM RPM. This is welcome news for people with higher requirements, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. System responsivity and stability is also influenced by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Western Digital hard disk includes a 256 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their prompt retrieval and reading.
