    My old pc was having problems with the hard drive that was in to so I decided to put a 500 GB WD SSD Blue and am extremely satisfied with the performance. It was very easy to install a real GREAT SSD and I managed to snag it at a sale price. Fired up the laptop and NO problems everything worked perfect even the cloning and if I need to buy another SSD I would do it again. Thanks WD for your Sale Notifications

    I was repairing an Asus Essentio tower computer, the 1TB hard drive was failing, so I recommended that the hard drive be replaced with a solid state disk. This Western Digital drive was in stock and priced reasonably, so it allowed me to perform a one day repair operation.

    I used this drive to replace the aging one in a laptop. I cloned the old drive using Acronis, and the difference in performance with the SSD is huge, as one would expect. I didn't give five stars as this drive is not the best performing one of its type, but it is good value for the money.

    Very easy to install...existing SATA and power connectors from the HDD it replaced worked. New install of Windows 10 feels like a new computer on this drive it is so fast! Have been building my own PCs since 2000, trust Western Digital and have not had issues with their drives.

    I install these bargain-priced SSDs from Western Digital in many of my customer's laptops as an upgrade from spinning disk hard drives. The customer is always satisfied, They're much faster than a hard drive, of course, and apparently reliable, as I haven't had any failures since I started installing them a couple of years ago.

    Worked and it was exceptionally fast. Was able to boot my laptop up in about 30 seconds when it used to take about 5 minutes (more or less). I am really happy with this SSD and I got it at such a good price too! Very good.

    This SSD is just what my wife needed to breathe new life into her older and sluggish laptop. Installation was seamless using free drive cloning software, and now her laptop is much more responsive.
