My mini computer ran a bit warm for my liking and I could hear the fan revving up and slowing down. I decided to buy this SSD and clone the HDD in order to help matters. It all worked fine and I am using it as I type. It has been reliable and fast since the day it was installed.

I fit these and do not have failed machines coming back to me. Yes you can buy cheaper but in my experiance the brand challanged drives tend to fail in unpredictable ways. I have not had any Western Digital SSDs fail so far

Hi my names Trevor, I am going to tell you why I think these drives are a great buy. Firstly and most importantly for me has to be quality, price and performance. When my gaming friends first mentioned SSD drives and suggested I buy some it is something I had to consider as I could see in game at the time they were faster than I was and after asking them what they were using we made equipment comparisons and I realised ssd drives were a good idea. Quality wise looking at these drives they look pretty much like any other ssd drives on the market with nice decals and some performance information printed on the front of the drive as they are standardised at 2.5" They are reasonably and competitively priced with other manufacturers drives and there are a lot of drives to choose from. The Performance increase I have noticed since using these drives is a lot better than the old sata 2 disk drives I was using, I also own and would recommend a 3TB WD 6 Gbs red nas drive for storage. They are a little slower than high end Samsung drives however as you may well know and can see for yourself the premium price. I made my choice and I am very happy with my Blue Western Digital SSD, I think you would be happy too. Read full review

I bought this to upgrade my now 12 year old pc. It was running windows 7 and needed to upgrade to windows 10 and decided to upgrade the primary drive to SSD at the same time. It took about 7 mins to boot on my old system and now takes about 35 seconds! My old WD drive served me well and here’s hoping this one does the same and initial signs are good. It was a matter of fitting and no issues with loading win 10. I needed a 2.5” to 3.5” adapter but bought one in advance so about 1/2 hour to fit and I was away! Only time will tell for reliability but looking good so far. Extremely pleased.

The WD Blue SSD has a good reputation and seems to live up to it. I have recently upgraded my laptop and this included swapping out the HDD for this SSD. This has made a huge difference, reducing start-up time from over a minute to just a few seconds and allowing blisteringly fast file transfers. Plus, it's physically far more robust than any HDD. And at a very reasonable price.
