Other Hard Drive Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. The enclosure conceals a mechanism with moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but at the same time you get an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The crucial criterion that determines the speed of a hard drive is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). With the WD Blue 2TB, you 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. File access speed and stability is also impacted by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Western Digital platter drive is equipped with a 256 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their prompt retrieval and reading.

Connecting the Western Digital Hard Drive

If you want to mount the WD Blue 2TB in the device of your choice, it must have a 3.5" slot. The communication between the HDD and PC is done through the SATA III interface with a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. The technology is one of the best HDD data transfer solutions available and delivers a speed of 600 MB/s.
