Other Hard Disk Features

Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. The enclosure conceals a mechanism with moving platters accompanied by hard disk heads that facilitate reading and writing of data. These moving parts are not particularly resistant against shock or impact, but this weak point is well-compensated by a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The crucial parameter that determines the speed of a platter hard disk is RPM - the number of revolutions per minute. With the WD Gold 14TB, you would get 7200 rev/min revolutions per minute. This is welcome news for people with higher requirements, such as graphic or video editors - in short, people who work with large amounts of data. Data transmission and stability is also influenced by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Western Digital hard disk features a 512 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their speedy reading.
