Western Digital RE4-GP 2 TB

This is a 2000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 64MB of cache. At roughly $0.07 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.

Its $139.99 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and adds the part's price to your build total.
