    I originally went in for a Samsung ssd which happened to be out of stock at the time. I can't say that I am disappointed at all as the WD device has great performance and costs less.

    No complaints here, it’s a great SSD for the price. Quick read/write speeds, and from what I can tell, quite reliable too. I definitely recommend.

    This is my second solid state drive that I have bought from Best Buy. My first was for my laptop that was fairly new, less than a year old and this most recent was for my wife's computer that is about 4 years old. Prior to installing the new SSD, my wife's computer was extremely slow and you could tell that the hard drive was going to fail soon. The installation of the new SSD for my wife's computer has made difference of night and day, with processing and booting up, much faster with no lag time. I highly recommend this drive to turn an older computer back into a new one.
