Many appreciate the ample storage capacity for their files and the straightforward installation process. While some users experienced issues with the included software and warranty duration, the positive feedback on performance and value significantly outweighs these concerns.

    My (old) laptop is running a little smoother/faster. So I guess I would give it 3 stars but I chose to give 2 because when I went to pick up my laptop after it being serviced, I was in line for about 30-45 min minutes. I just had to pick up my item and I can't believe it took so long.

    The drive seems to work well. I have been a WD customer for several years and have been pleased with their products until now. I tried to register the WD blue drive but am unable to do so because of WD poor website. I have contacted them several times but have not been able to register the drive yet.

    I bought this SSD for my desktop hoping to make an improvement it worked fine a big difference. in about 4 months later start having problems, computer start freezing performance went down. After formatting and reinstalling windows again did not help. Drive just died . kept getting errors messages appeared the drive could not hold information. something internal went wrong. I had an extra SANDISK drive 250GIG installed it and worked better than this WD Drive. maybe just got me a defective one? I am still using the SANDISK drive and works perfectly still fast 2 months of use.
