  • Key Specs
    • Storage Capacity: 12000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
    • Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
    • Rotational Speed: 5400 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
    • Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Is this the WD120EFAX or the WD120EFBX? Someone else asked a similar question, and you didn't give a straight answer. What's the rotational speed? Is it 5400 or 7200 RPM? Please don't tell me that the photo is for illustration purposes only. Just answer.

Q: The specs on this page (12 TB Red Plus) say that it is just 5400 rpm. Is that correct?? Other sites say the 12 TB red plus drive is 7200. Is that a different drive? Or is this page a typo?
