Western Digital Gold 6 TB (WD8004FRYZ)

A 6000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 256MB 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.
