The WD Blue 6TB is an internal hard drive designed for use in desktop personal computers. With a standard 3.5-inch form factor, it provides a high-capacity storage solution for everyday computing, data archiving, or system upgrades. The drive connects via a SATA 6Gb/s interface, ensuring broad compatibility with contemporary motherboards and PC enclosures. It is primarily intended for users requiring additional space for documents, media collections, and software applications.
This model operates with a spindle speed of 5400 RPM and is equipped with a 256 MB cache to facilitate data transfers. This configuration provides a functional balance between storage capacity and performance for general desktop tasks.
