WD Black 3.5" 8TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive

This internal 3.5-inch hard disk drive provides 8 TB of storage capacity, primarily designed for integration into desktop PC systems. It operates using the SATA III interface, allowing for connectivity at a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 6 Gbit/s. The drive is optimized for demanding desktop workloads, including high-performance gaming and professional content creation environments.

Operational speed is rated at 7200 RPM, paired with a substantial 256 MB DRAM cache to manage data throughput and improve access efficiency. Sequential read speeds reach 267 MB/s, while sequential write performance is specified at 600 MB/s. This configuration results in an average rotational latency of 4.167 milliseconds.

The hardware includes integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors, designed to maintain stability and consistent performance when the drive operates near other components or within constrained enclosures. Furthermore, the unit supports S.M.A.R.T. monitoring technology, enabling continuous assessment of the drive's health status and operational parameters throughout its lifespan.
