Hitachi 7K2000 2 TB

A 2000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.07 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 32MB of cache. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.

At $140.00 it sits in the high-end drive bracket. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to keep a running tally of the cost.
