Customer Ratings & Reviews

Used this drive to upgrade a laptop that was slooowing down. Big difference in boot times and general use. If you have no issues opening up your computer and wish to extend the life of said system, get an SSD. WD makes good solid drives and the price is right.

I saw this SSD on sale and thought itd be perfect. It's not the highest of quality but for the price that it was reduced to plus being an upgrade to my preexisting HDD I figured it was worth it and it definitely has shown improvements to my PC.

Great SSD for a decent price. I have been using this for about 2 years to store all my Steam games and other applications. I have not run into any issues in the two years of owning this SSD.

I'm currently using this for Ubuntu Linux 19.04. I had Ubuntu 18.10 on a regular HDD which was acceptable. But, with the performance of an SSD, I don't ever want to go back. You really have no idea beforehand how much better it can be, until you experience it for yourself.

I picked up two of these one for my desktop and one for my laptop. So impressed by the speed of these SSD drives and they last longer and have less issues than traditional hard drives due to no moving parts. Worth every penny!

Made an old ready to be scrapped desktop computer like new. Cloning was not easy, had to get Geek Squad to do set it up as a boot drive, but that is a Windows issue. Definitely recommend this SSD.

I have used WD drives for years, and they have always outperformed other brands that I replaced. This SSD is an awesome drive and worth the price. If you are looking for a reliable SSD for your PC, Mac or PS4, WD is definitely the way to go.

I needed this mainly for game storage, and it fits the bill. Much faster than my previous 2tb sshd hybrid drives. Probably pick a few more up in the future so I can keep each one less filled and retain those higher read/write speeds. Would buy again!

I went from traditional mechanic hard drive that was considered fast for its time to this and WOW. my life has changed. already considering to buy an other one for more storage for my games.

Samsung was my usual go to which is still just a tad better but not enough to justify the cost difference for this amazing drive. Fast boot times, programs load fast breathes new life into an older laptop Buy it, you will not regret it!

WD always performs admirably l, even while behind Samsung. This SSD offers the speed you're expecting at a better deal than the Samsung alternative. The extra read/write speed in the Samsung (which is barely) won't feel worth the cost. Great buy.

Two months in and the drive is running well. Easy to install WIN10 and the performance has been a noticeable improvement over previous traditional Hard Drive Discs. Startup from cold state is under a minute, previous drive could be up to 5-10min.

This SSD has progressed in performance over the years I have used them. They now cary a 5 year warranty. Bring any computer with an ailing HDD back to life. Haven't had a problem with a single drive. These are my goto SSD.

Easy transfer of operating system from old style hard drive, gave life to my old computer to let it get along for another year. I have always used Western Digital never had any issues, hopefully this is the same way. I'm very happy with the product.

Was a simple switch out. Plug and play. Saw some major differences with games loading. Definitely worth the upgrade.

Great card. Brought my computer that I built back in 2013 to 2020. Starts up in 10 seconds. No messed up save files. Quicker file transfer. If you haven't made the switch to full ssd your life sucks. Part of the ship. Part of the crew.

Bought the 500GB and tge 1T installed both of them on my 8 years desktop that I use as entertainment center connections to my tv. Reinstalled windows 10 i tell you. Boot time is super fast. Also fast access to files. I'm happy.

What a difference adding this solid state drive has made in the speed of my PC. Start-up is almost immediate (despite all the icons on the home screen), and downloading photos, saving or opening documents and searching the web are all so much faster. This was a very worthwhile buy.

My son's laptop needed more storage space, and this solved that problem. I've researched solid state disk drives since they were first released, and Western Digital Blue has one of the highest ratings. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Had this installed to replace the drive in my aging all-in-one PC. It tripled the speed of my computer! Now I can hold off on buying a new one for at least a couple years
