    as of 2020, this drive has a 5 year warranty. not 3 year warranty as listed. Samsung 860 evo might be a little faster in some cases, so you have to weigh the price paid.

    The WD Blue 500GB SSD is a very good buy. For the money paid, this SSD is very fast, reliable, and is an excellent choice for an internal C Drive, or as an external USB drive for backups, data, pictures, etc.

    I love this hard drive. One Hundred times faster than my old Hard drive with much more storage. I should have done this years ago. I am so glad that my tech suggested this hard drive.

    I purchased this SSD for my MacBook pro 13". It works great and instant connection. (You gotta love hating Apple). Years ago, the cost was $2 per GB. This SSD drive was on sale and it cost me 20 cents per GB. You can't beat that price anywhere.

    After adding an SSD to my main computer, I decided to add one to my garage computer. This really brought the computer to life. Fast start ups and smoother operations. A good investment for the money.

    I like this SSD. It is fast and a good price. I have used it now in several laptops to replace the old hard disk and it speeds things up very nicely. Most laptops boot in seconds now instead of minutes.

    Simple to install and configure to upgrade an older HDD drive. Very lightweight, and blazing fast boot times. This drive will start up and access data at blazing speeds. Doesn't overheat either.

    When thinking of the next generation of hard drives, the WD Blue Solid State Drive should be a serious consideration. With its quiet running performance and easy installation, this hard drive delivers. A++ all around.

    They work great as an upgrade from a HDD to a SSD. The free Acronis software (have to download) to clone works without a hitch no matter the other brand HDD.

    What to say? I have not run any benchmark tests or anything along those lines, but this SSD drive installed with no problem and seems to be working fast and well. Running OS X Mojave on an old machine.

    Main drive blew up so I had to get another one. My PC boots up in half the time now. Great purchase, no complaints. WD has been hit and miss with their SSDs but this one is solid. Would buy again.

    I've purchased many (100+) WD Blue hard drives & western digital's SSD line does not disappoint. I've never had a DOA and have yet to see one fail. They're not always the cheapest, but when it matters, I go blue!
