Overview

This is a 5000GB 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 $0.13 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 $654.99 price tag places it squarely in premium territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores. Warranty coverage follows Western Digital's standard policy — confirm regional terms on the listing. Every published spec is tabulated below, and compatibility against your current part list is checked automatically.
