WD Blue 3.5" 6TB, 5400 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive

The WD Blue is a 6 TB internal hard drive designed for use in desktop PCs. It features a standard 3.5-inch form factor and connects via a SATA interface, making it compatible with most modern motherboards. The drive is intended for general storage applications, including housing operating systems, software, and personal files such as photos and documents. Its design is optimized for standard desktop workloads rather than continuous operation in server or NAS environments.

This model operates at a spindle speed of 5400 RPM, which contributes to its low power consumption during idle periods. A 256 MB cache is included to assist in buffering data and improving burst performance for read and write tasks. The SATA interface provides a maximum transfer rate of 6 Gbit/s. The drive also incorporates S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) to monitor its own health and report potential failures.
