Toshiba MG03ACA 2 TB

This is a 2000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.07 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. Sequential throughput tops out at 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 $144.92 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to keep a running tally of the cost. Warranty coverage follows Toshiba's standard policy — confirm regional terms on the listing.
