WD Purple 10TB

The WD Purple 10TB hard disk is one of the high load internal HDDs for storage solutions used by monitoring systems. The 3.5" format is designed primarily for desktop PCs, data centres, and other data-processing devices. One of the key parameters is clearly the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). The 7200 RPM RPM delivers improved system performance and faster data transfer. The overall data capacity of the HDD is 10000 GB. The storage features a 256 MB memory cache. All the data communication between the Western Digital hard disk and other hardware is takes place using the SATA III interface.

Other Hard Disk Features

Platter hard disks have a notably special construction. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism with moving platters accompanied by hard disk heads that facilitate reading and writing of data. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but this weak point is well-compensated by a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The key criterion that affects the speed of a hard drive is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). With the WD Purple 10TB, you get 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This should delight the more demanding users, for example video editors, graphic artists, people who play PC games, and everybody else who deal with large amounts of data. File access speed and overall stability is also significantly affected by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Western Digital HDD is equipped with a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their fast retrieval and reading.
