Overview
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. 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.
Its $379.06 price tag places it squarely in premium territory. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current drive prices across retailers. Support and warranty service run through Western Digital, with terms that vary by region.
