I have an old laptop with a spinner drive that I never touch anymore because booting up took over a minute and a half. I was eager to brush off the dust from the old laptop and see what this WD Blue SSD could do. While I don’t have the technical knowledge to discuss read/write speeds, suffice it to say that as an average user I was amazed at how much faster my laptop performed with the WD Blue SSD installed. Boot time went down to 15 seconds. Not only that, the whole operating system was faster and smoother, and programs loaded with lightning response. It breathed new life into an aging laptop and is probably the biggest upgrade you can make to a laptop to improve performance. It may not be the fastest drive with the latest technology (e.g. it isn’t a 3D NAND), but I believe the WD Blue SSD fits the bill for the everyday laptop user, and most of us will not notice differences of nano-seconds in boot times. Keep in mind that if you are a newbie, the WD Blue SSD does not come with any instructions. In fact the included paperwork with the tiniest of print makes it clear that WD intentionally did not provide the hardware, software, and instructions to install the internal hard drive. WD also makes no indication on their packaging that you can download the complimentary Acronis True Image WD Edition for Windows from the Western Digital website needed to clone the image from the old hard drive. Many other SSD manufacturers make it clear to the purchaser in their packaging that a free license is included to download cloning software. This may not be important to the experts and professionals out there as they already have cloning software, but I think it is important to point out to the new user to reduce some of the headaches of searching online for reputable cloning software. So to save you some trouble, go directly to www.wdc.com, click ‘Support’, go to ‘Downloads’, and download the “Acronis True Image WD Edition Software.” Other than the software needed to clone the drive, you will also either need a hard drive enclosure, hard drive docking station, or SATA to usb cable to connect the new drive to the laptop during cloning. I had to take off a star for the fact that WD does not state anywhere on the packaging that the Acronis Software is available for download from their website. Other than that, this is a great SSD that you should seriously consider if you can get it on sale. I will provide comments to this review in the future if I find any issues related to performance, reliability, or longevity of the drive. Note, that WD provides a 3 year limited warranty.
