    I upgraded my hard drive when it stop working with a WD - Blue 500GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive. It's at least 10 times or more faster than my original hard drive. It's totally awesome.

    Really good drive, fast (not the fastest though) and reliable. I have a few SSD drives of different sizes/rates and this stacks up next to the others. I use it with an enclosure.

    Lightning boot-up speed over old drive. Easy to initialize and use as a secondary drive or back-up drive. Suggest following a u-tube set-up for what you want to do - either clone or imaging.

    Great price for a fast drive. So far, we have not had any issues or failures with the WD Blue SSD. Price is fair to have it in hand within minutes.

    I bought this several months ago and have been very happy with it. It is fast as can be (being an SSD) and is very reliable. No problems so far. Plus, it's a WD, so you can bet it'll keep working for a while.

    While I do not consider these a top tier SSD (that goes to the Samsung Evo), these are the best bang for your buck in terms of size, speed, and most importantly, reliability.

    Was very pleased with this purchase as it helped the boot time on my laptop go from a minute to a few seconds. If you have older hardware you would like to extend for a few more years, I highly recommend this SSD.

    WD - Blue 500GB Internal SATA SSD - Recommended

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These SSD drives are the single most effective thing that you can upgrade your computer with to pump new life and speed into it. I work in computer repair and this upgrade usually makes windows 7 boot in 15 - 17 seconds, vs without times of 60 to 130 seconds, Window 10 opens in 8 - 12 seconds. Office 2019 Word open in 3.5 seconds in an old dual core 3.2Mhz intel processor. The price/performance point is the 500GB model which has a Manufacturer's Warranty - Parts 3 years Manufacturer's Warranty - Labor 3 years

    Needed this to go with a laptop that only had a small internal ssd. So lightweight (had to open the packaging to make sure it was really there) and easy to install. Works great

    So far so good, I upgraded my pc and wanted my apps and game to run with speed. So far it hasn't let me down and I've put it through a lot of heavy use. Well worth the money
