Other Hard Disk Features

Platter HDDs have a special construction. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism that uses moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but at the same time you get a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The crucial parameter that determines 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 10TB, you can look forward to 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This should delight the more demanding users, such as graphic or video editors - in short, people who work with large amounts of data. Data transmission and stability is also affected by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Western Digital hard disk is equipped with a 256 MB cache that keeps the last written data for their prompt retrieval and reading.
