Other Hard Drive Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. The enclosure conceals a mechanism that utilises moving platters accompanied by hard disk heads that read and write the data. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but at the same time you get a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The key criterion that determines the speed of a hard drive is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). With the WD Purple 14TB, 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. Data transmission and overall stability is also significantly affected by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Western Digital hard disk is equipped with a 512 MB cache that stores the last used data for their fast retrieval and reading.
