Overview
This is a 500GB 2.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 8MB of cache. At roughly $0.6 per gigabyte it sits in the premium tier. 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. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
