WD Gold 6TB

The WD Gold 6TB hard disk is one of the high load internal HDDs for 24/7 operation in data centres. The 3.5" format is made chiefly for desktop PCs, data centres, and other data-processing devices. One of the crucial parameters is obviously the rotational speed of the HDD. The 7200 RPM RPM provides improved performance and data speeds. The total capacity of the hard drive is 6000 GB. The drive has a 256 MB memory cache. You can connect the Western Digital hard drive and the PC or other devices takes place via the SATA III interface.

Other Hard Disk Features

Platter hard disks have a notably special construction. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism that utilises moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but this design delivers an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The crucial criterion that affects the speed of a platter hard disk is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. With the WD Gold 6TB, you would get 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. It's a great model for 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 determined by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Western Digital hard drive includes a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their prompt retrieval and reading.

Connecting the Western Digital Hard Disk

If you want to mount the WD Gold 6TB in the device of your choice, it must have a 3.5" slot. Data sharing happens via the SATA III interface with a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. The technology is one of the most popular HDD data transfer solutions available and delivers a throughput of 600 MB/s.
