Seagate Barracuda XT 2 TB

A 2000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.09 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 64MB of cache. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.

Its $184.73 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current drive prices across retailers.
