Overview
This is a 6000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 128MB of cache. At roughly $0.04 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.
Expect to pay around $229.99, which lands it among high-end options. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores.
