Other Hard Disk Features

Platter hard disks have a notably special construction. The enclosure conceals a mechanism that uses moving platters, complete with disk read and write heads. These moving parts are not particularly resistant against shock or impact, but on the upside, this design also delivers its amazing price/capacity ratio. The important criterion that affects the speed of a platter hard disk is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). In case of the WD Black Mobile 1TB, you get 7200 rev/min 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. System responsivity and overall stability is also significantly affected by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Western Digital hard drive is equipped with a 64 MB cache that stores the last used data for their speedy reading.
