Overview
A 26000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 512MB of cache. At roughly $0.04 per gigabyte it sits in the premium tier. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.
At $1144.99 it sits in the premium drive bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and adds the part's price to your build total.
