  • Fast drive but WD support tools are terrible
Capacity: 500GB
I have had numerous types of HDs. Samsung, Crucial, WD, Maxtor, etc. Anyway this is a decent enough HD. Unfortunately WD cheaped out on their support to tools for this. Many people probably will be cloning their drive like I did. I only have 1 bay for an M2 drive so I kept my existing drive inside the PC and used an enclosure to clone the HD. At least this is how I have done it in the past on many other types of HDs. However, if you use WDs tool (Acronis) then it requires that your original drive also be manufactured by WD or it wont even open the application. Secondly, they ask that you download the full version of Acronis if your original drive is not WD...which costs $60 by the way. So right there thats pretty pathetic. Crucial and Samsung both come with utilities that are good for cloning all types of drives. I ended up using a free tool called Macrium Reflect since WD decided to not bother supporting their customers properly. It got the job done well. So once I had it cloned there were no problems whatsoever. I did have to resize my partition manually afterward but no big deal there since that is standard procedure. Maybe that is why the WD drives are a few $ cheaper than the competition because their support tools are not very good. You shouldnt have any problems if you are doing a fresh format or anything. But if you plan to clone your drive, keep this in mind. ... show more

  • WD wants this drive to fail ASAP
Capacity: 2TB
Short version: Between WD "tech support" and the controller setup, these drives are designed to fail *MUCH* sooner than their paper specs would lead you to believe. This is an intentional decision that WD doesn't want to rectify. Long version: Unlike hard drives, SSD's have limited endurance and are affected by what's known as "write amplification". Basically, a write to NAND can only be done in units called "pages". Writing less than a page leaves part of the page empty. The controller can eventually stitch these smaller writes together, but it hurts performance, and more importantly, means that, in order to fill a page, the SSD has to write many pages. (Comparatively, if the OS knows the page size, it can issue writes in whole pages.) This "write amplification" can cause a major discrepancy in how much data the OS writes to the drive and how much is actually written to the NAND (which is what wears out). As a result, the drive can stop working as much as 10x sooner than expected. Now, a *reputable* manufacturer would advertise the page size, not only in the product documentation, but in a way that the OS can recognize. WD does neither; the only meaningful metric reported by the drive is a 512-byte "sector size". An OS that isn't actively on guard against such maliciousness is at risk of creating a huge write amplification factor (I've seen reports as high as 20x) and wearing out the SSD much, *much* sooner than would occur with proper use. So what is the *actual* page size? According to WD: "the information that you are looking for is a proprietary information and it is not available for the customers." (Note that there is widespread agreement that modern SSD's have a page size of *at least* 4KiB.) ... show more

  • Excellent. But... why in the world no brand includes the darn screw?
Capacity: 500GB
I will not comment on the SSD's performance, other folks in here did a good job on that already. My goal was to upgrade an original 256 GiB SSD in an Alienware 15 (R0 or R1, the one that does not accept NVMe SSDs) to the larger 500 GiB one. Between a few choices, what drove me to the WD Blue was a combination of good reviews, price, and the availability of the Acronis True Image cloning software. Obviously there are many choices of cloning software, many of them free and efficient (looking at you, Easeus). I was gladly impressed with the Acronis True Image. I installed the SSD (now what is this about no SSD including the darn screw? A few cents, perhaps a dollar, to include a screw in an $130-plus product?) and loaded Acronis. At first, the new SSD would not be found: I had to make the SSD "online" through Windows' Computer Management interface. Acronis gives you a few choices of cloning: (1) an exact image, which will maintain all partition sizes and location as they were originally (thus you get no increase in size; you would have to do that later); (2) allow Acronis to increase the target partition size as it assumes best; or (3) manual definition of target partition location and sizes. Option (2) would not work well for me. My original SSD had some 6 partitions (many of them recovery partitions that I do not know were really being utilized, but I will figure that out later), and Acronis would always pick the wrong one to allocate the extra space in the new SSD. Thus, I selected the manual cloning, which gives you an initial exact-image template, and then you can move the partitions and/or change their size in the target SSD. As such, I maintained the order of the partitions on the new SSD, and allocated all the extra space to the "system" partition. The next issue is that I utilize Bitlocker in my drives. Acronis True Image will not clone Bitlocker-encrypted partitions, either online, or offline (booting from an Acronis boot disk or USB). I had to therefore disable Bitlocker and decrypt my drives prior to cloning, which took a considerable amount of time. Once done, Acronis could initiate the cloning process. I left the cloning operation running and occupied myself with other matters. I came back after a while (one hour, perhaps) to verify what next steps were necessary for Acronis to finish the cloning procedure. I expected to have to configure the new boot device as the new SSD in Windows, or through Acronis. What I found was the computer already rebooted, utilizing the new SSD as the new boot device, all partitions correctly configured as I designed, and the old SSD available and untouched (apart from not set as the boot device any longer). Not bad. Not bad at all. Now what is this about not including the darn screw? I will not cut stars because of this, but, come on. Between two competing SSDs, similar prices/performance, one includes the darn screw, which one do you thing consumers would buy? ... show more

  • Excellent value!
Capacity: 500GB
I put this in a machine that already has a Samsung 970 Evo in it as my boot drive. When I first got it I ran some speed tests since I was interested in how it compared to the much more expensive NVME drive. I was impressed! It was definitely slower in sequential read/write, but it was actually very comparable in the other tests I ran. If I were to build a new computer I would just get the 1 TB WD Blue instead. Much better value! ... show more
