Overview
This is a 12000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.03 per gigabyte it sits in the premium tier. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 256MB of cache. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.
Expect to pay around $329.99, which lands it among premium options. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to keep a running tally of the cost. Support and warranty service run through Hitachi, with terms that vary by region.
