    I use these drives in a 6 drive Raid 0 array for speed. Yes I have redundant backup drives JIC. I use them for CAD/CAM, Video editing and running various windows OS's in VBox. Greatly increased the VBox loading times and disk access. Linux Mint 19.1 is the base operating system everything is loaded onto.

    Great SSD, Fast, Lightweight, Easy to Install. I used this SSD to be installed as the main drive on a MacBodd Pro 13 Mid 2012 and it worked perfectly. The OS now boots up a lot faster and it has just extended the life of my device.

    I bought this SSD to use as an external bootable drive, and it works as advertised. After an upgrade to a new computer in the future, I will continue to use this as a speedy external storage device. It is the best bang for your buck as far as SSD's go!

    Had a dead desktop computer due to a hard drive that died. A computer repair tech convinced me to revive the computer by repalcing the dead hard drive with a new $64 SSD drive. Computer now works great, and with the SSD drive it boots up in seconds. Who knew!

    I've been waiting for the prices of the SSD to finally come down. I pulled the trigger and bought this to upgrade an older HP laptop. Wow what difference in load up speed. Its like boom. I'm very impressed. Everything is so much smoother now.

    It's an SSD. Honestly, the only way you can give a bad review on an SSD is when it dies. You'll have forgotten when you bought it or have a new computer by the time that happens. WD is a name that's been around forever when it comes to drives. The price seemed right.

    Decent SSD at a good price

    The WD Blue series SSDs are relatively new to market, but seem to work perfectly fine. I've used a lot of SSDs and figured that WD should build pretty decent drives since they're probably essentially SanDisk parts. So far, so good with this unit. Only time will tell if the units hold up, however.

    Bought this to upgrade a 2012 MacBook Pro along with ram upgrade to 16gb. What a difference. Bootup to login to app loading went from 3-4 minutes to less than a minute. Runs like a brand new machine. Much cheaper option than buying a new computer. Install was easy.
