Seagate Exos X18 16 TB

This is a 16000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.04 per gigabyte it sits in the premium tier. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 256MB of cache. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.

Expect to pay around $585.23, which lands it among premium options.
