6TB SATA desktop hard drive

This WD Blue drive provides 6TB of storage on a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It fits standard 3.5in drive bays and targets everyday desktop workloads such as bulk file storage and backups. The 64MB cache helps smooth routine read and write operations.

IntelliSeek thermals and low power draw

IntelliSeek calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration during normal use. NoTouch Ramp Load technology parks the recording head off the disk surface to protect data. The drive is tested for compatibility across hundreds of systems in the F.I.T. Lab.

5400 RPM spindle speed decides fit

The 5400 RPM rotation rate determines the sustained transfer rate and access latency you will see. Buyers who need faster random performance for operating system drives or heavy multitasking should consider a higher-speed or solid-state alternative.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 3.5" SATA drive and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a 3.5-inch bay using four screws, connect the SATA data cable to the motherboard and the SATA power cable from the PSU. The step often missed is attaching both cables firmly; a loose data connector causes the drive to disappear in BIOS.

What maintenance or replacement will this 6TB 5400 RPM drive need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required. The drive uses NoTouch Ramp Load technology to protect the heads and Data LifeGuard to monitor health. Replace the unit if SMART attributes report reallocated sectors or if the drive develops unusual noise or read errors.

What limit appears first on this 64MB cache drive during sustained writes?

The 5400 RPM spindle speed limits sustained transfer rates before the 64MB cache or SATA 6.0Gb/s interface saturates. Expect sequential speeds typical of a 5400 RPM desktop drive during long write sessions.
