The Western Digital WUH721816AL5204 Ultrastar DC HC550 is a 16TB hard drive that uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and operates at a rotation speed of 7.2K RPM. It has a 12Gbps SAS interface and a 512MB cache. The 12Gbps SAS interface, which is faster than the traditional 6Gbps SAS interface, provides high-speed data transfer rates, allowing for faster access to stored data. With a 12Gbps interface, it can transfer data up to 1.2 GB/s, which is faster than the 6Gbps SAS interface that can transfer data up to 600MB/s. With a 512MB cache, it can also handle multiple read and write requests simultaneously, which further improves the data transfer speed. The high-speed data transfer rate of this drive makes it well-suited for use in data centers and other enterprise environments where high-performance storage is required.
