Overview
A 500GB 2.5" HDD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.14 per gigabyte it sits in the mid-range 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 $67.97 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores.
