This is a 3 terbte SATA drive. It runs at 7200 RPMs. That's how fast the disc spins. So unlike some of the other three terbte drives on the market in this particular price range, this is a full speed desktop drive. So, some of the other ones are like um green branded drives, whatever the case may be. Meaning that they do spin at a slower spindle speed in order to conserve power. Okay, that's one of the reasons. And also to provide higher yields, but they don't perform quite as well. You can see this guy right here was actually wow manufactured in December 2010. So, this is a SATA 3 6 GB per second drive running at 7200 RPM and with 3 terb of capacity. So, what's the benefit of higher densities? Well, you get to store more as we've known for quite some time. You also get better performance because hard drives are a physical movement piece of machinery. So, what that means is there's actually a drive head moving around on there reading the data. So the closer together your data is, the more dense it is, the quicker it can read it because the less it has to move to get to that latest piece. So that's one of the reasons that increasing drive density has driven up hard drive performance over the years. So we've got SATA power back here. SATA 3 uh 6 GB per second data right there. And I just wanted to tell you guys as part of my unboxing actually, well, the reason I did this one was because Hitachi has what I consider to be the most competitive drive in the market right now in terms of the performance as well as the price point. But bear in mind before you buy a 3 TB drive, you want to make sure of a couple things. First of all, you can see right here, Gigabyte advertises right on the back of their Z68 board 3 TB plus drive support. So, not all motherboards are going to support 3 TBTE densities. And the same goes for things like external NAS boxes. Some of them are going to require firmware updates or even a NASBOX upgrade in order to support 3 TBTE drives. So, the reason I actually needed some 3 TB drives and I grabbed four of them was because I'm going to be using them for my demo of the Javelin S4 media server and uh so I had to grab them anyway. So, I figured why not do an unboxing. So, there it is, my unboxing. The Hitachi 3 TB drive. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips."}
