If you think that spinning magnetic media aka hard drives or disks to me and you are dead and SSD or solid state drives are taking over, think again.
The Western Digital Wd600HLHX hard drive is absolutely amazing.
Here are some the specs of this drive;
10,000RPM, 32MB cache, SATA 6G/bs, 1.4 million mtbf mean time between failure, 5 year warranty, read seek times 3.6 ms and write seek time 4.2 (avg), a truly stunning piece of kit for any gamer or performance system, pair these up or better still configure into a RAID 5 configuration you have a decent data protection and file server setup with very fast read and write access times.
Cooling of the drives is catered for by a inbuilt heat sink and offers rack mount back plane for extra colling of the hard drive.
Capacity is now doubled from the 300gb previous model and offers a decent storage size for users that require more room for their digital archive of music, photo’s and the like.
How many hard drives come with a 5 year warranty these days? Not many, in fact it wasn’t all that long ago many manufactures supplied 3 and 5 year warranty, however there appeared to be a shift back to 12 month warranty not so many years back, so this hard drive shows confidence and reliability from the manufacture in the long term performance of this drive, they represent a very good ROI for your data, after all how would you recover if your hard drive failed and you did not have any backup at all? Perhaps data recovery has been attempted and failed, you are left with nothing, no data.
