Other HDD Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism that uses moving platters accompanied by hard disk heads that facilitate reading and writing of data. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but on the upside, this design also delivers its amazing price/capacity ratio. The key parameter that affects the speed of a hard drive is RPM - the number of revolutions per minute. With the WD Gold 14TB, 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 stability is also significantly affected by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Western Digital hard drive includes a 512 MB cache that keeps the last written data for their speedy reading.
