Overview
A 1000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.17 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 64MB of cache. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.
At $169.00 it sits in the high-end drive bracket. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and fold its price into your running build total. Warranty coverage follows Western Digital's standard policy — confirm regional terms on the listing.
