Seagate Exos 7E8 512n 3 TB

This is a 3000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 256MB of cache. At roughly $0.06 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.

Its $180.00 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
