Overview
This is a 500GB 2.5" HDD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.6 per gigabyte it sits in the premium tier. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 8MB of cache. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.
Its $299.99 price tag places it squarely in premium territory. 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 Samsung's standard policy — confirm regional terms on the listing.
