Great extra SSD for Warzone. Games are getting so big and this SSD is a great value for storing extra games. It has no performance issues and is priced fairly.

Quick and easy to install. Cloned old hard drive to this one and this one is so much faster. And a great price for a 500 GB ssd.

Awesome Drive! Have purchased SSD drives to get a little more life out of older PCs who's hard drives are bogged down with trying to keep up with too many files. Swapped out my old Seagate 7200 RPM drives - Incredible speed boost! Lightning fast boot up. Western Digital is my SSD of choice. (Blue for regular home office PCs, Black for gaming machines). I had Geek Squad install and tranfer over the data. They did it in 1 day and did a GREAT job! Worth every penny.

I installed this drive on a 10 year old HP tower with AMD 3 Ghz x4 processor and 8 Gb ram. Old drive was 160 Gb and struggling with all of the overhead that Windows 10 created. This drive was just right in size performance and price. Woke this machine right up with minimal investment.

Extreme upgrade for a 5 year old laptop

Do you have a 5 year old laptop with a 5th or 6th gen Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 CPU? Does it already have 8GB RAM? If your laptop does not have an SSD you will be very impressed on the improvement this makes. There are several FREE software out there to allow you to clone Windows 10 and videos on how to do it. I've trusted Western Digital since the days when a 500MB platter HDD was 'more storage space than you'll ever need'. I started with the 250GB Western Digital Blue SSD's but with the price drop in the market how can you not go with the 500GB storage size? Cheers!

This drive has been my main HD for well over a year now. Works great and is fast. Not as fast as the NVMe, but lots faster than the spinning disks.

Let me give it to you straight. I do IT work for a living for many years now. I've used this drive to replace dozens if not hundreds of laptop and desktop drives in the last few years. If you have a relatively decent CPU, 8gb RAM or more (4 is the very least), this SSD will give you a fast computer. The difference you'll see is remarkable. The reliability is extremely good as well. I haven't seen a single failure of a WD Blue SSD. I have seen a few others but as a rule, SSDs are more reliable than spinning drives. Well worth their price. Get one!

The WD-Blue 500gb internal drive was very easy to install. This solid state hard drive has increased the performance of my laptop. I had recently added more memory because my computer would lock up if I opened more than 2 tabs on the internet. The increased memory helped a little, but the solid state hard drive increased performance quite a bit more. I can now open as many pages as I want with no problems and they load faster than ever before. This solid state hard drive is a must buy if you want to increase the performance of your laptop!

SSD for PS4

I purchased this hard drive after an older PS4 crashed and wouldn’t load. Got the hard drive on sale and installation was a breeze and so much easier than finding and buying another PS4. Hard drive is quiet, isn’t nearly as hot as the factory hard drive, and is about 17% faster than the normal PS4. Only time will tell as far as the durability but knowing what I know about SSDs, it should live up to his money.
