WD Purple 18TB
The WD Purple 18TB hard drive is one of the high load internal HDDs for 24/7 monitoring systems, e.g. security cameras. 3.5" HDDs are made chiefly for desktop PCs and data centres. One of the most important characteristics is clearly the rotational speed of the HDD. The 7200 RPM RPM delivers better speeds when working with multimedia and data. The hard disk provides a storage capacity of 18000 GB. The device uses a 512 MB memory cache. The data transfer between the Western Digital hard disk and other hardware is takes place using the SATA III interface.

Other Hard Disk Features
Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism with moving platters, complete with hard disk heads that facilitate reading and writing of data. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but this weak point is well-compensated by its amazing price/capacity ratio. The key criterion that determines the speed of a hard drive is the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). In case of the WD Purple 18TB, you get 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This is welcome news for people with higher requirements, 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 affected the embedded buffer memory known as cache. The Western Digital platter drive includes a 512 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their speedy reading.
Connecting the Western Digital Hard Drive
