Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgrading your HDD for an SSD is one of the best things you can do from a budget and impact point of view to keep using an older hard drive. I have a three to four year old thinkpad that I got this hard drive for. I've performed numerous upgrades (including to this laptop) and swapped harddrives in both desktops and laptops before so this was not my first go at cloning and swapoping, although it was the first after market SSD I've worked with. From a process standpoint I knew going in that I was going to need a new cable/enclosure for the Cloning process which I picked up in store at BBY while I waited for the SSD to arrive in the mail. When it came in I was able to hookup via USB 3.0 and initialize the drive just fine, it looked like the clone went OK after that but when I swapped the drives after cloning the SSD was undetected. I tried a few other (3 to be specific) windows machines and wasn't able to detect the SSD on any of them so something clearly went wrong during cloning. A couple weeks later I tried plugging it back in to my desktop and the desktop found our misbehaving drive. I Initited a reformat and reinitialized, which ran successfully. After that no machine I own can find this hard drive so I've been unable to re-attempt the clone and swap. Honestly I'd view it as highly risky to trust my thinkpad to this SSD given how unreliable its been during my attempts. I see many others have had no issues what so ever so I'm sure I got the 0.3% defect rate and 99.7% of you will have no problems what so ever -- but treat this review as a word of caution.

Always had good luck with Western Digital Drives and used this one to replace an older 160 GB Hard Disc Drive on a Dell E6400. What a significant increase in speed. I would recommend this product to others.

Used this to upgrade a 10+year old laptop, it does the job but nothing special. It replaced a Samsung 840 Evo, so the only upgrade was storage capacity. Usable space is actually ~466GB. It can be used in any modern sata interface, but there are no accessories in the box. It is designed only for laptop drive replacement and does not come with a 3.5" tray adapter plate or any cables. IOPS ranged from ~1000 (write) to 3600(read) Latency was 4.12ms

I rated this based on the installation. This came without installation instructions and it was very hard trying to figure it out online. Going on the website was not much help either. I saw some instructions saying you have to partition the drive and than you can install it, but I still cannot find installation instructions. I gave it 3 stars because of that and hopefully I can figure out how to install it and come back to update my review.

WDs products never have failed me before. This ssd is the best choice for first timers.

Nice SSD for the price. Works great with windows and boots fast on SATA III

Excellent hard drive. Easily installed and formatted.

The co Computer is working good. It’s much faster.

this is a pretty good solid ssd drive, with good speeds. works well. so far so good.

Easy transaction. Found what I wanted on the webpage, ordered it and paided for it. Went to the store and picked it up in 5 minutes flat.

Well, I can't really complain to much about it. I just needed more storage. It hasn't failed me yet.

Very good service and great selection. This is my go to place for all my electronics..

It's swell! I haven't actually gotten around to installing it

great replacement for my little hp, great upgrade from hhd

Works great in my Dell laptop. Wayyyyyy faster startup

After about 39 days it is still working as it should. No problems.

Right out of the box and freshly installed, as soon as I hit the power button I hear a sizzling sound and see smoke coming from inside of the PC case from the back of this brand new drive. DOA right out of the box and obviously burned up upon first start. I bought this less than 24 hours ago. The ink has barely dried on the receipt. I hope that the return/exchange policy is good.

Bought to replace my main drive, went to put in my machine and forgot to take files off old drive, swapped copied and replaced, didn't even register on my pc, used hard drive housing and still nothing wasted money

Failed in less than a week after installing it in my wife's laptop.
