Western Digital Red 8 TB

A 8000GB 3.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 128MB 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.

Warranty coverage follows Western Digital's standard policy — confirm regional terms on the listing. The full specification sheet below breaks out every listed detail, and the compatibility checker flags conflicts with parts already in your build. The category page surfaces comparable models near the same price, which makes shortlisting against this drive straightforward.
