Western Digital Black 5 TB

This is a 5000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 128MB of cache. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components.
