Overview
A 1000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 64MB of cache. At roughly $0.17 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.
At $169.99 it sits in the high-end drive bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and adds the part's price to your build total.
