Overview
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 64MB of cache. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems with the rest of your parts automatically.
Support and warranty service run through Western Digital, with terms that vary by region. Scroll down for the complete spec table; the builder's compatibility checker will warn you about any conflicts with components you have already picked. Not sold on this particular drive?
