Other Hard Disk Features

Platter hard disks have a notably special construction. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism that uses moving platters accompanied by hard disk heads that read and write the data. These moving parts are not particularly resistant against shock or impact, but this design delivers an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The crucial parameter that affects 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 Pro 12TB, you get 7200 rev/min revolutions per minute. This should delight the more demanding users, 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 platter drive features a 512 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their speedy reading.

Connecting the Western Digital Hard Drive

In order to mount the WD Purple Pro 12TB in the device of your choice, it must be equipped with a 3.5" slot. Data sharing is done via 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 speed of 600 MB/s.
