    • Very fast & works in a desktop computer
Capacity: 1TB Style: Old Generation
I bought this WD Blue 1TB SSD to replace a hard drive that I thought was the likely cause of some data corruption experienced in a desktop top-line computer. It required also buying an SATA III cable and a 2.5” to 3.5” adapter bracket to fit in the desktop bay since they are not included with the drive. The drive did not come with any useful instructions, but this procedure worked: 1. Shut down 2. Leave original drive as is; connect new drive to power and an unused SATA port on motherboard 3. Power up. Normal but new drive does not show in My Computer 4. Run Acronis software available free from WD’s site a. Select “Clone disk” and automatic mode b. It identified the old and new disks c. It ran about 1.5 hours and cloned the original drive, including all partitions and 500 GB of data d. It shut down computer automatically 5. Disconnected power and SATA cable from old drive 6. Connected new drive to the SATA port on motherboard where old drive had been 7. Powered up. It booted OK. Everything seems fine. Boot up and opening programs seems about 5 times faster than with the original spinning disk hard drive. I can’t evaluate long term reliability, but my initial impression is excellent. ... show more

Capacity: 500GB Style: Old Generation
I've bought hundreds of drives over the years (I'm an old computer technician) and it always comes down to Western Digital & Seagate for standard mechanical drives; and Western Digital or Samsung for SSD-type drives. I prefer the Western Digital for the mechanical type but for the SSD-type like the Blue 500GB drive referred to here, either the Samsung or WD work great (I have several of each). Go with the least expensive of the two, they are both high quality drives. ... show more

    • Good upgrade for old Win 7 machines
Capacity: 250GB Style: Old Generation
Bought 6 of these to upgrade old office PCs and milk another year or so out of them. They are Dell Win 7 machines, and now boot in 15-20 seconds vs 2-3 min before. Everything launches quicker, too, and the SSDs give the impression of a much faster computer without having a faster CPU or memory. Within reason. Won't necessarily speed up already running programs. But, for these old ones that only have 4 GB RAM, it should also speed up shuffling data in RAM to the pagefile virtual RAM. I used Macrium Reflect to clone each of the drives, using a USB3 external hard drive case made for quick swapping of drives, in case anybody cares. ... show more

    • No More 5 Year Warranty?
Capacity: 500GB Style: Old Generation
I've ordered many of these drives, a couple 256, 500 and 1TB. Today I received a 500GB for a raid1, I already had the 2nd 500 on hand from a couple months ago and when I put the two packages next to each other I noticed the old on says 5 year warranty and the new one said 3 years! I compared the SKUs, the model numbers and more and they are identical in every way except for the warranty. I read the document included in the box and that also confirms the 3 year warranty but when I look at retailers sites, Western Digital's website, their data sheets and warranty status checker, everything still says 5 years. Very confusing and concerning. ... show more

    • This SSD is approximately $50 cheaper than it's predecessor and delivers same fantastic results!
Capacity: 500GB Style: Old Generation
I got this SSD HD to replace and improve my daughters HP Pavilion Laptop (The original HD was a Segate 5400rpm 500GB SATA II Traditional Laptop HD) the performance issues that this laptop had been having which was mainly due to the growing resource demands over the years from the newer Windows Operating Systems (Going from Windows 7 to Windows 10) and the newer requirements from the current software as well. Needless to say very infuriating for someone who is trying to get her school work done. PROS: Nothing but Praise CONS: Absolutely None Recommended Additional Software and Tools to perform the Hard Drive upgrade with: - (Needed, unless your reloading the OS from Scratch) Use Macrium Reflect 7 Free Edition (Just do a Google Search to find) to clone your Old hard drive to the New One. It's an easy download that will install into your existing hard drive to make an exact clone to your New One. Best part the Free Edition does not cost a dime. - (Needed, unless your cloning a Desktop then Optional) Use this USB to SATA Drive connection cable Sabrent USB 3.0 to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Adapter [Optimized For SSD, Support UASP SATA III] (EC-SSHD) for only $10 to clone the new drive with. Of course if it is for a Desktop this will not be needed but for 95% of the Laptops out there it's a must! - (Optional, if you already have a similar tool set) If your changing the hard drive out of these newer Laptops (within the Last 4 years) I would buy this tool kit Soucolor 78 in 1 Precision Screwdriver Set, Magnetic Driver Kit, Repair Tool Kits with Portable Case for iPad, iPhone, Tablets, Laptops, PC, Smartphones, Watches, Electronics Disassembly to access the Hard Drive, especially for those needing a plastic pry tool, can't go wrong for $20. Once I installed the new SSD the difference was literally night and day, the boot up from Bios to Operating System (Windows 10) was almost literally instantaneous (I would say give or take 5 to 10 seconds), the response time on applications and any action in general was also instantaneous. Only other recommendation I would make is to make sure the BIOS on your laptop/PC is current so there are no compatibility issues with the SSD. Please NOTE: This HD is approximately $50 cheaper than it's predecessor Western Digital WD Blue SSD interne 500 Go - SATA 6 Gbit/s 2,5" but has the same excellent results. Overall I could not be happier, This will unfortunately will be that last upgrade that I will be able to do this Laptop (See the system system specs below). I would highly recommend this SSD Hard Drive for all older PC performance related problems. Specs: HP Pavilion Laptop (June 2012) OS: Windows 10 Pro Processor: AMD X6 @ 1.40 GHz (4 Cores) RAM: 8 GB (Max Capacity) Hard Drive: 500GB WD-Blue 3D NAND SSD (Replaced original Segate 500GB 5400RPM SATA Drive) Video: AMD Radeon graphics card (HDMI & VGA) Display: 1920 X 1080p 17.3 inch Screen Internal NIC: 100MB WiFi NIC: Internal Intel Centrino Dual Band/USB LB1 AC600 Dual Band USB Dongle (5 ghz) USB Ports: 3 X USB 2.0 Ports ROM: DVD/CD Burner ... show more
