Overview
A 12000GB 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. At roughly $0.05 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 $599.99 it sits in the premium drive bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores. Support and warranty service run through Western Digital, with terms that vary by region. The full specification sheet below breaks out every listed detail, and the compatibility checker flags conflicts with parts already in your build.
