Overview
A 1000GB 2.5" SSD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes. At roughly $0.47 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 $470.00 price tag places it squarely in premium territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores. Western Digital backs the product through its standard warranty channels; check the listing for region-specific terms. Every published spec is tabulated below, and compatibility against your current part list is checked automatically.
