Hitachi Ultrastar He8 6 TB

A 6000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.03 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 128MB of cache. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.

Expect to pay around $199.00, which lands it among high-end options. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
