After using a regular HDD for as a boot drive for almost 7-8 years. I was overdue for an upgrade. A fresh install of windows on this drive makes booting up a pc take less than a minute.
If you are using a older pc case like I am, you may also want to invest in a universal disk drive tray to accommodate this drives smaller size. My stock tray slides weren’t meant for smaller drives. Even so, this is a worthwhile investment just to save on boot times.
I used it to improve the performance on an older computer that I use on a CNC machine. It made the computer have performance better than what I needed for the CNC.
Reliability of SSDs has been sketchy since 2021. Samsung is no exception and they have one of the worst RMA service ever in Canada. In this context, I chose the next best with a decent RMA service in Canada: Western Digital.
So far, I am quite happy with my purchase. It came in perfect health and is still at perfect health after cloning my old Toshiba HDD on it. So far, so good. My SSD is of the newest generation and was manufactured May 23rd 2023. Speed is as advertised. My computer gets to the log in screen much faster and all the background apps load super fast. Games are impacted too, of course. Initial game launch, loading saved games and loading between levels takes half the time it used to take with my old 7200 rpm HDD. Even the graphics are impacted because textures load much quicker.
One thing I am not so sure about, though, is the Acronis True Image software that is provided. It is rather clunky and people have had problems cloning with it (errors, having to wipe the SSD and try again), so I decided not to use it, especially after I saw that it would hang for over a minute just when I clicked to bring up the cloning tool. That is NOT normal. If it hangs so much on that step, imagine how it will struggle when doing the actual cloning. I wanted to go with the free version of AOMEI, but apparently they have put their cloning tool behind a paywall. I ended up using Macrium True Reflect (free trial), but there are plenty others which would have done just as nicely. I was able to adjust my partitions exactly to my liking.
I hope I got one of the reliable ones and that it will not fail before several years. I will update my review if anything happens.
Was a little hesitant about buying a drive that was labeled as “used”. When I received the item, it was packaged in the original box. However it did have small rips in it, with clear evidence it was opened. I opened the box to find the hard drive and the manual only. The box was missing the plastic insert the would hold the drive from rattling around. I plugged the drive into my PC and checked its information with CrystalDiskInfo. I was extremely happy to find it has zero reads and zero writes. This drive is completely new, other than the box it came in. I am very impressed at how amazon classifies used items. I will definitely try to buy used whenever possible. Definitely get a good value for the money.
Guten Tag
Ich habe mir diese SSD fr einen Bro PC von terra als Ersatz fr die inzwischen in die Jahre gekommene HDD von Seagte gekauft.
Die Lieferung war schnell und der Einbau spielend einfach.
Der PC ist jetzt wieder so schnell wie frher und das arbeiten ist jetzt auch wesentlich Angenehmer, da die Ladezeiten wegfallen.
Top Produkt 🙂
I have an old backup laptop that was taking 4 minutes to boot up then would have a lot of problems while in use. Got this WD SSD (SATA version), and cloned the new SSD from the old HDD in the laptop using a cable (purchased separately) with software provided through a link from WD.
While swapping out the HDD for the new SSD, I also swapped out the old 8 gb RAM with a new faster RAM.
This old laptop that was taking 4 minutes to boot up now boots in 15 seconds and the problems I was having while using it have also go away.
Highly recommended.
Buena SSD, a pesar de que es una entrada sata, precio bueno pero difcil de encontrar por el tipo de conexin. Tard mucho en llegar, se despach muchos das despus, aunque si lleg un da antes.
It’s very fast and good but unfortunately it’s not fit with my old laptops i have to send it back
Upgraded my old laptop as the old hard drive was the slowest part, it now boots 3 x faster, it has also extended the battery life a little and doesnt run as warm as before.
Acronis is easy to use, but for those who are 2nd guessing it, I’ll post some Step-By-Step Instructions.
1: You’ll have to have your Western Digital Blue Drive, (In my case, an M.2 SATA Solid State Drive.) & have it connected to your PC. If it’s a Laptop, of course, you’ll have to have it connected to an External Drive Enclosure…
2: Install the Free Version of Acronis True Image for Western Digital Blue.
3: As shown in the 1st picture, once on the main screen, look for ”Disc Clone”.
4: Click on Disc Clone, then in the next window, choose ”Automatic” & whether you want to copy the entire Storage Drive, or if you just want to copy the Operating System. (So far I’ve made 2 copies of my 1st Dell Inspiron 13-7378. One of the complete SSD & the 2nd one is just of the Operating System.
5: Either Click on ”Shut Down PC when finished, or leave the box unchecked. At any rate, you’ll need to shut down the PC so you can disconnect your Cloned Drive, Plus the program will tell you if the Disc Clone was a success..
6: If you know how to swap out your SSDs, then you can test it.
Since I have 4 Dell Inspiron 13-7378 Laptops, I’m Cloning extra copies of my Windows 10 Pro Laptop..
It took about 1/2 hour to clone a 256gb drive with 142gb of data on it. I’m actually using one of my Cloned M.2 Drives now…
I hope I was able to explain the operation well enough for you to do your own Disc Clone…
It was a little more difficult to pull of due to having the wrong ssd adpator. You need a older style SATA ssd adaptor. Online software from Western Digital worked well.
Me ayud a recuperar mi antiguo pc, con ms almacenamiento y ms rpido
El HDD en si bien, pero poner el tornillo es esencial, por esa parte muy mal.
L’ssd rapido e funzionale. Ho fatto jna installazione da zero quindi senza usare il tool Acronis fornito in licenza scaricabile entro 90 gg. dall’acquisto. Usato nel taglio da 1TB per sostituite disco originale piccolo (128GB) di un HP Spectre 13. Per il momento, molto soddisfatto.
Great little drive for a quick answer to speeding up your laptop/pc. Easily cloned my old drive onto this and plugged into the pc. Done. Nice, quiet, speedy operation.
Abbinato all’hub Satechi per Mac mini aggiungi lo spazio che vuoi.
Aber wer schon ein lteres Notebook mir M.2 Schnittstelle aber ohne NVMe hat, kann das gute Stck fr berschaubare Kosten trotzdem noch einmal erkennbar auffrischen. Und da meist auch der Akku nicht mehr ganz so gut ist, freut sich auch der, wenn die alte Festplatte raus kommt.
Been using it for 3 months now. Was pretty much plug, format and play. My wife uses this as an external drive and the device its mounted in is not treated well (usually tossed into the bottom of her bag) and everything just keeps working. No complaints.
Bought to replace smaller SSD – drive was quick & easy to install & the cloning software downloadable from the WD website made the transfer very straightforward. Bought whilst on offer so storage capacity was good value for money & the read/write speed is plenty quick enough for my needs. Overall, a very good upgrade for what I needed.
If you’re out of NVME slots on your motherboard and this WD SD of 1TB is a great highspped upgrade choice to increase and speed up. Your storage on a HDD PC or Laptop.
As a reference, Mocrosoft Flight Sim 2020 (MSFS2020) takes 3-4 minutes to run and completely load of this SSD.other games and applications takes seconds.
Este disco te ofrece una capacidad de 1 Tb, pero al abrir el paquete se ve que todo est en un solo chips de memoria NAND flash. Esto me genera desconfianza, pero tras varias semanas de uso funciona bien como SSD principal en un HP Elitebook Revolve 810 G3. No he tenido problemas para clonar el disco original en este con el software que proporciona WD a travs de su web, aunque he notado que el arranque se ha ralentizado ligeramente con este nuevo SSD. HAbida cuenta de que actualmente no hay muchas opciones de marcas fiables para almacenamiento M.2 SATA de 1 Tb, de momento me parece una buena opcin por su precio, pero veremos cmo va con el paso del tiempo. Por si acaso, recomiendo tener copia de seguridad externa de los datos clave, y crear una unidad de recuperacin para el sistema y software principal.
It’s worked wonders for my old 2009 laptop and saved me buying a new one in the short run. I also replaced it with the same brand taken out Western digital. Good device for storage and better computer performance.
2TB is the minimum size I would recommend for this task, or even as a laptop upgrade.
The disk isn’t super fast compared about NVMe, but it does the job at a reasonable price.
Fitting could not be easier but needed to get an internal power cable for it. Screwed it into the spare drive mount and plugged it in. On booting the PC it was recognised and all I needed to do was assign a drive letter.
Speed test with Crystal Disk Mark proved it to be nice and quick. Time to move and try the games… Wow what a difference! A great worthy upgrade rather buying a brand new pc! 😀
I got this during the black friday deals and kind of wish I got two now seeing the price :).
Easy plug and play for the most part, my motherboard’s m.2 slots – only one of them will take an SSD and its the faster slot that I have my nvme drive in.
Considering that the speed of this is on part with a normal sata SSD I ended up getting a 10 enclosure so I could plug it into a SATA port, but for later on I will look for a motherboard that supports this in the configuration that i want.
I’ve had no complaints and it has performed as expected for the price, I am quickly filling it though :/
Recommended buy when on offer!
