The WD Gold 14TB hard drive ranks among the high load internal HDDs for NAS and ordinary data centres. 3.5" HDDs are designed mainly for desktop PCs, data centres, and other data-processing devices. One of the crucial characteristics is obviously the rotational speed. The 7200 RPM RPM ensures better system response across the board. The hard disk provides a storage capacity of 14000 GB. The device uses a 512 MB memory cache. You can connect the Western Digital hard disk and a computer or other device takes place through the SATA III interface.

Other Hard Disk Features

Platter hard disks have a notably special construction. Inside the drive there is a mechanism with moving platters accompanied by disk read and write heads. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but on the upside, this design also delivers an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The key criterion that affects the speed of a platter hard disk is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). In case of the WD Gold 14TB, you would get 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This is great news for people who demand more from their devices, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. Data transmission and overall stability is also significantly affected by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Western Digital HDD is equipped with a 512 MB cache that stores the last used data for their speedy reading.

Connecting the Western Digital HDD

In order to mount the WD Gold 14TB in the device of your choice, it must be equipped with a 3.5" slot. Data transfer happens via the SATA III interface with a speed of 3 Gbit/s. The technology is one of the most popular HDD data transfer solutions available and delivers a throughput of 600 MB/s.
