    Works great! Bought this to replace an old hard drive for a client and the client was impressed with the increased speed that this drive gave. Transfer software worked fine.

    Used on a server and all processes that required HD access became fast. Took me around 4mins to get to login screen from boot but this one takes me from 30-40secs. Will recommend.

    This is probably the second WD Blue I've gotten and the drives are dependable. I don't do measurements to see if it's better/faster. It stores my data and my PC's seem to start up faster.

    I replaced my mechanical HDD in my laptop with an old i3 processor. Buy my estimation I added at least another 2 years of life to this laptop. I have used Western Digital for years with no problems.

    Works great in my computer, can't complain. Apparently SanDisk and WD are owned by the same company now, so since I've had good luck with SanDisk SSDs, I gave this one a shot. No complaints!

    Works great for standard hard drive replacement and new install builds. Also great that WD allows a license with Acronis for cloning your existing hard drives for upgrades
