Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice little SSD drive for the price. I used it to bring life to an old PC that I had laying around the house. It had an old HDD that was slow so I imaged it to this new SSD and it came to life!

Great drive for a cheap price. Works great. Makes upgrading older systems a breeze. Fast boot up times.

For the price this is the best SSD to get and use. It's always great to know that it is available at best buy and now that they added the Get it today in green in the description, I am even more happier that I can get it the same day when needed. Best Buy is a life saver.

Fast reading memory storage expansion great to use as plug and Play or Mount internally into a computer

The ssd computer hard drive was a awesome working correct computer. I Allways do most of my shopping at Best Buy

Great SSD! Been working fast and good! Couldn’t ask for better! (You can barely see it in my pc)

The 240GB SATA SSD is a game-changer when it comes to improving the overall performance and responsiveness of your computer. After upgrading my aging laptop with this SSD, I can confidently say that it has breathed new life into my system. Here's my in-depth review: Performance (5/5): The most notable aspect of this SSD is its remarkable performance. With read and write speeds that blow traditional HDDs out of the water, it has significantly reduced boot times and application loading times. Everyday tasks feel snappier, and multitasking is a breeze. I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my system's responsiveness and overall speed, making this upgrade worth every penny. Capacity (4/5): The 240GB capacity, while not massive, is more than sufficient for an operating system and a selection of frequently used software and games. However, it's essential to pair this SSD with a secondary storage drive (HDD or larger SSD) for storing larger files, media, and games that consume more space. A small trade-off for the performance gain. Reliability (5/5): I've been using this SSD for several months now, and it has performed flawlessly. There haven't been any issues with data loss or system crashes. It's a reliable choice for both casual users and professionals who demand stability in their work environments. Installation (5/5): The installation process was straightforward. It comes with a cloning and migration software that simplifies transferring your data from the old drive to the new SSD. I had no issues during the installation, and it was up and running in no time. Value for Money (5/5): Considering the significant performance boost, the price is more than reasonable. Upgrading to this 240GB SATA SSD is a cost-effective way to enhance your computer's speed and efficiency without breaking the bank. Conclusion: In summary, the 240GB SATA SSD is a stellar investment for anyone looking to improve their computer's performance without making a significant financial commitment. The speed, reliability, and ease of installation make it a top choice for upgrading your laptop or desktop. While the capacity may be somewhat limiting for those with extensive storage needs, it's a perfect choice for a boot drive or a system where speed and responsiveness are the top priorities. I wholeheartedly recommend this SSD as a valuable addition to your computing setup.

Not a good value for the money. Read speed is typical compared to competitors but the write speed is ~36% slower yet at a higher price. I will be returning the drives I bought. Ex. PNY 240GB has ~500MB/s both read and write speeds and this drive has ~350 MB/s write and ~500 read speeds. PNY Drive cs900 is ~$28, this drive was $36.99 - Dell Inspiron 15 3451

Good little SSD. I was looking for a cheap ssd that could get an older workstatipn up and running. This fit the bill nicely. Cheap, basic, and enough space for a basic install. Not necessarily the cheapest possible ssd, but this is a good balance of speed and price. Couldn't ask for much more at this price point. I could post speed metrics and comparisons, but I honestly can't tell the difference between this and a crucial ssd that costs double the price when doing basic computing tasks.

Easy install. Very compact. I had a dead all in one. Now i have a new, faster, better all in one...for less than$40! Great value!

This is a tough product to review. It does all the things you expect a Solid State Drive to do. Very fast performance, no moving parts, breaths new life into old computers. So why pick this driver over any of the other great brands out there? Sometimes it just comes down to availability. Other times price or size. Whatever it is for you, you won't go wrong with this drive. I believe that the pros of this SSD are price, speed, and manufacturer. I believe that the cons of this SSD are price, speed, and manufacturer. So what do I mean by that? With regards to price, you can find 240-gigabyte SSDs for less money than this drive. It is not the cheapest 240 GB SSD and if you're looking for a budget drive you should probably look somewhere else. But, on the other hand, it's not expensive, the average price I paid for this WD Easystore SSD was $38.00. I feel it's generally a fair price for the product at this point in time. You also have to wade price against the signs. I feel that 240 GB is now the minimum size drive you should put in one of the day's news. You can get by with a 120 GB drive but I have found that generally, eventually, you run into storage problems. Regarding speed, I mean it's not the fastest, and it certainly not the slowest. In my opinion for the average consumer, the difference in speeds between SSDs is not noticeable, and therefore, at least in regard to speed, most are just as fast as the rest. Regarding many manufacturers, Western Digital has been making hard drives for decades and one of the giants in the industry. It only makes sense for them to move into the new future and start making SSDs for the consumer market. Some people love Western Digital, some people hate them. Let your view of them to help your decision and if you have no particular view then it doesn't matter. I haven't had one WD SSD that's failed which is a plus. But there's always a certain percentage of any type of technology that is going to fail at some point. It's just inevitable. When I look at picking out a solid-state drive for one of my customers, I first look at the amount of space they need, then if they have any particular needs for storage unique to them, and if not, I look at price and availability.

It is really a barebones package, nothing besides a thin paper sheet with the standard user agreements. It was shockingly easy to use, despite not advertising it on the packaging, I was able to download the WD migrating tool to clone an older hard drive to the SSD, entire process took 10 minutes, rebooted and I am greeted by snappy boots into the SSD instead of the old hard drive. I can't stress how important to me that the migration tool worked for this, it makes my life far easier, as far as speeds...it is your run of the mill SATA SSD, most people won't notice a difference, why pay more?

I've used several of these drives over the past 6-8 months as HDD replacements for older laptops/desktops. Since the primary bottleneck in most older equipment is the mechanical hard drive, these solid state drives provide a significant improvement in perceived speed for very low cost. Boot times for most machines go from being several minutes to get the OS to a usable state, to around 30-45 seconds. Programs open faster, and are more responsive due to faster reads and more IO. Also, in systems with lower amounts of RAM, the SSD provides a higher speed swap capability, but if your system is that low on ram, you should probably be looking at a new machine, rather than just a new drive. Not much information is out there on the long-term reliability of these drives, but so far I've yet to have any issues.

Wonderful and fast WD ssd drive! My desktop is booting up so much faster now after I had my brother install this very affordable upgrade. He had actually suggested that I purchase this as he noticed my desktop took forever to boot up. At first I was hesitant since my pc was working fine but im glad I decided to go for it since it definitely improved my desktop performance!

I'd never opened a laptop before. Pretty easy to figure out. I downloaded a free trial hard drive cloning program. (Before doing that the laptop would not recognize the new drive.) I had to buy a SATA USB connector to connect the new hard drive to the side port USB on the laptop. My old hard drive was larger. I thought I could make room by deleting some files. It took a bit of guesswork to determine which batch of files to copy and not mess up. After copying as many files as I could from the old hard drive to clone i shut it all down and removed two screws and easily put new one in the place of old one. Discovered to my dismay that I had opened the "clamshell" of laptop too much and ribbon holding keyboard came loose when little holder self imploded from age. So can't use keyboard. I use an external USB one to make it work. Laptop boots up super fast and my Star Wars Galaxies game runs better. Interesting learning experience.

Excellent product at a good price point to speed up an old desktop. Definitely recommended for that purpose if you're someone on a budget. Plug and play right out of the box. Note that 240 gb gets used up fast so plan on buying another, larger hard drive or solid state drive at some later time.

This solid state "hard drive" uses the same SATA connection as the older spinning disk drives. Therefore, it is a perfect replacement for the hard drive in an older computer. I am using this Easystore SSD to replace the disk drives in 5 to 8 year old computers running Windows 10. The speed boost over the old drives is very noticeable, especially during startup. Also, since Windows 10 is constantly updating, this drive helps by making the updates install much faster. The drive is only 240 GB, which should be fine for most users. If you are one that needs more space to store videos and such, you will need a second drive. In that case, keep the operating system on the EasyStore SSD and use a cheaper mechanical hard drive as data storage. That way you get the fast speeds of the SSD and the high capacity storage of the mechanical drive.

Fast little drive! Had no problems installing it in a Dell desktop that the old physical drive was starting to fail in. Cloned the drive over with Acronis and it booted right up but this time in literally seconds instead of a couple minutes.

Nice inexpensive SSD drive. Much faster than traditional hard drives and makes a good Windows system drive. Especially good for upgrading older systems. Doesn't come with a cable or any cloning software, but free options are out there for cloning.
