The WD Purple 10TB hard drive ranks among the high load internal HDDs for 24/7 monitoring systems, e.g. security cameras. 3.5" HDDs are designed mainly for desktop PCs, data centres, and other data-processing devices. One of the most important parameters is undoubtedly the rotational speed (RPM). The 7200 RPM RPM ensures faster data transmission. The total capacity of the hard drive is 10000 GB. The drive uses a 256 MB memory cache. You can connect the Western Digital hard disk and other hardware is takes place using the SATA III interface.
Platter HDDs have a special construction. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism that uses moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but at the same time you get a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The crucial parameter that determines the speed of a platter hard disk is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. In case of the WD Purple 10TB, you can look forward to 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This should delight the more demanding users, such as graphic or video editors - in short, people who work with large amounts of data. Data transmission and stability is also affected by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Western Digital hard disk is equipped with a 256 MB cache that keeps the last written data for their prompt retrieval and reading.
If you want to install the WD Purple 10TB in your laptop or other device, you need a 3.5" slot. All communication with the computer is done through the SATA III interface with a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. The technology ranks among the most popular HDD data transfer options available and delivers a throughput of 600 MB/s.
