    • A really good midrange SSD, if the price is right
Review Image by Ovaltine Jenkins Ovaltine Jenkins
Short version Pros: Has a DRAM Cache Decent performance and price for a midrange SSD 5-year Warranty Cons: Non-discounted pricing is atrocious 250G version is not the best deal Long Version As someone who frequently refurbishes old hardware others throw out, I tend to ignore the "midrange" of SSDs. Either I'll buy something ridiculously cheap (like that time when a 128G ADATA SU650 was at $16), or spend <$50 on a 256G NVMe and throw in a budget 500G SSD when they dip under $50 or an old hard drive. Generally I would stay away from the more "premium" SSDs since smaller capacities aren't that good of a deal, and as a student I would prefer to spend less on hardware that I'm not going to use daily. If it is hardware that I either care about or something I use heavily, I'll probably just go for something from Samsung, Micron, or a SK Hynix Gold when Woot puts it on a discount again. This time however, I had a 2012 Macbook Air where the original drive it came with was really showing its age, especially an unresponsive keyboard during login, so I decided I would swap out the drive while doing some overdue maintenance, using a SSD adapter for the 2012 Macbook Air. Compared to the original drive (which I forgot to take a screenshot of the test results), the sequential read performed better, from ~430MB/s to ~490MB/s with little change for sequential write. However, the system was quite smoother (less stutter that was caused by the drive), and even though it doesn't hit the advertised speeds, I'm still very happy with the upgrade. Generally the WD Blue is actually an SSD that I would recommend my friends to buy if they're on a bit more of a budget, just because it's not outrageously priced, the warranty and performance is pretty good from past experience, and it has a DRAM cache which makes it excellent for a boot drive. It's just not something I would buy normally because of the use scenarios I have. Would I recommend it? Yes, as long as you're not paying for more than ~$70 for the 500G version and you're not considering the smaller capacities. >$40 for a 250G SSD is a bit steep, and the only time when the 250G version became a good deal was when one of my friends bought it at $45 each on somewhere that's not Amazon (which is a horrible price), but they accidentally shipped him two drives and they got to keep both. ... show more

    • Excellent 500GB NAND M.2 SATA SSD. Easy to format for any system...Win, Mac and others.
Review Image by Frank E. Trinkle Frank E. Trinkle
This excellent 500GB SSD M.2 internal is mounted in a Satechi USB-C enclosure and works without a hitch. Easily formatted for APFS for Macs and high speed. Works exceedingly well as an external for my MBP M1 MAX. Speeds as shown in the image below. This highly affordable 500GB SSD earns an easy FIVE STARS from me, along with my honest and hearty recommendation. Great product, super value price for the performance provided! *If you found my review helpful to you, PLEASE let Amazon know by clicking the "HELPFUL" button below! ... show more

    • From "Need for Speed" to "Fast and Furious"
Wow!! I purchased this back in March 2019 for my ASUS Vivobook FS10UA which has a slow 1TB HDD. I primarily work on BI tools, databases and they all including Chrome crawled with the HDD. I bought this SDD having read that it would speed things a bit. Installed it, did the C drive cloning using Macrium Reflect, switched to booting from SSD and bang ... it didn't boot up. Tried for a couple of hours and finally took it out. Happened to switch jobs and move so never got to trying it again. Yesterday after my kids for the umpteenth time dissed my laptop for being slow I searched for the SSD, found it installed it and this time Bazinga!! The laptop is blazing fast. Like night and day. I was opening multiple File Explorer windows just because I could - something in the past I would dread to open. I believe any SSD would have done the job however, this WD one was highly rated and though Amazon was not sure if it was a good fit I read in the Q&A section people had success with this laptop model. I now look forward to using the laptop and frankly feel euphoric when I see it boot up in seconds used to be minutes with the HDD. If you are getting a laptop with HDD - treat yourself to an SSD. You will never hate your laptop. ... show more

    • I bought 2 of the 8GB Ram Stick, about a month apart. Works like they meant to work!
I actually bought 2 of the 8GB Ram Stick, about a month apart. And when I received the second stick. Off came the bottom of the Dell E7270, and out with the old and in with the new. Easy with a Dell, just 8 screws, and open, push the holding clamps away from the center of the RAM stick, with a little pressure and they pop open. Match the exact pin slot when taking out the old, with the new, and slide the new in, and slight pressure sliding the stick back in and the holding clamps pop closed, holding the new RAM stick. Go to the next RAM stick pushing the holding clamps, with slight pressure, and do the same pop out the old, match the pin slot with the old RAM stick, and slide in the new stick, and the holding clamps just pop closed. So easy peasy, and toot about 10 minutes, and that included booting back in my OS, and checking the new RAM at 15.2 GB of POWER, rather than the 7.20 RAM with the 2 X 4 GB sticks. The only really hard thing about the whole job is hanging on to these miniature screws with my old fingers. I'd really suggest to have the tiny Philips screwdriver that has a small amount of magnetic holding power, to hold the screw on the screwdriver, to do this RAM swap. I used a magnet, and a an old screwdriver I had, and rubbed them together until the screw wouldn't fall off when putting them back in the screw holes. DONE, and powered UP! I'd recommend this seller for sure! ... show more
