WD - Blue 250GB Internal SSD SATA
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 250 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 550.0 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 525.0 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: 2.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Product Manuals
Q: Would this SSD work as a suitable hard drive replacement for a 2011 MacBook Pro?
A: yes. works for my 2010 mac book pro.
Q: Does that work on a desktop computer?
A: Yes, but in a desktop computer one has a standard bay for a 3.5" drive, one needs to purchase an adapter since standard SSD's are 2.5" drives. I purchased an adapter when I inserted mine into the desktop.
Q: Is this drive SLC, MLC, or TLC?
A: It is a 64-layer BiCS 3D TLC design shared from Toshiba using SanDisk/Western Digital NAND dies mated to a Marvell 88SS1074 controller.
Q: Does cloning software to transfer data from the old drive to the SSD drive come with this drive
A: No software comes with the drive.
A: Hello, Please know that the WD Blue Hard Drive for Laptop comes with SATA 6 Gb/s interface and has 2.5 Inch form factor. Please check with the host device vendor whether the WD drive will fit and support the host device. -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information.
Q: Is the Western Digital Blue SSD better performance-wise than the Western Digital Green SSD?
A: Hi John, I have no connection to WD or access to scientific studies, but this is my impression. The blue products have slightly higher data transfer rates. They also have longer rated lifetimes. WD "green" products are made to use less power, but SSDs don't use much power anyway. The prices are very close. So, I would certainly recommend the blue products.
A: Well, yes it should fit perfectly. If you do a search, you will see a video on how to do it. Remove the plate from the bottom to expose the hard drive, and then carefully remove the hard drive and put the SSD in its place. The advantage of an older laptop like this is that it is easy to get to the hard drive, unlike the newer, thin laptops that are impossible for most people to open.
