Hitachi 7K1000.C 1 TB

A 1000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 32MB of cache. At roughly $0.19 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.

Expect to pay around $189.95, which lands it among high-end options. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current drive prices across retailers. Warranty coverage follows Hitachi's standard policy — confirm regional terms on the listing.
