Intel Pro 5400s 180 GB

This is a 180GB 2.5" SSD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.74 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.

Expect to pay around $133.20, which lands it among high-end options. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and fold its price into your running build total.
