The Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB hard drive offers performance, reliability, large storage capacity, and the new 6 Gb/s Serial ATA interface. A larger cache means faster performance. A 64 MB cache combined with the 6 Gbit/s Serial ATA interface makes this drive a perfect solution for the latest generation of PCs. Western Digital hard drives are designed to have the lowest power consumption of any high-performance desktop drives, which lowers the operating temperature for greater reliability.

Cache

In computer science, a buffer is a region of a physical memory storage used to temporarily hold data while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a mouse) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as speakers). However, a buffer may be used when moving data between processes within a computer. This is comparable to buffers in telecommunication. Buffers can be implemented in a fixed memory location in hardware - or by using a virtual data buffer in software, pointing at a location in the physical memory. In all cases, the data stored in a data buffer, are stored on a physical storage media.
