WD Red Plus 10TB

The WD Red Plus 10TB hard disk belongs among the high load internal HDDs for NAS systems. The 3.5" format is designed primarily for data centres and desktop PCs. One of the key parameters is undoubtedly the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). The 7200 RPM RPM ensures faster data transmission. You can look forward to a total data capacity of 10000 GB. The storage features a 256 MB memory cache. The data transfer between the Western Digital hard disk and the PC or other devices takes place via the SATA III interface.

Other Hard Drive Features

Platter hard disks have a notably special construction. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism that utilises moving platters accompanied by hard disk heads that facilitate reading and writing of data. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but this weak point is well-compensated by an excellent price/storage capacity ratio. The key criterion that affects the speed of a HDD is the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). In case of the WD Red Plus 10TB, we have 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. Data transmission and stability is also influenced the embedded buffer memory known as cache. The Western Digital hard disk is equipped with a 256 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their prompt retrieval and reading.

Connecting the Western Digital HDD

If you want to mount the WD Red Plus 10TB in your computer or other device, it requires a 3.5" slot. All data transfer happens using the SATA III interface with a speed of 3 Gbit/s. The technology ranks among the best HDD data transfer solutions available and delivers a throughput of 600 MB/s.
