About this item
- 3D NAND SATA SSD for capacities up to 2TB with enhanced reliability. | As used for storage capacity, one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment.Specific uses: Business, personal
- Sequential read speeds up to 560MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 530MB/s. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second.
- An industry-leading 1.75M hours mean time to failure (MTTF) and up to 500 terabytes written (TBW) for enhanced reliability. | MTTF = Mean Time To Failure based on internal testing using Telcordia stress part testing. TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.
- WD F.I.T. Lab certification for compatibility with a wide range of computers.

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.

First of all, installation is a breeze. The M.2 2280 form factor means it's small enough to fit into a variety of devices, including laptops and desktops. Once you've got it installed, you'll immediately notice the difference in speed. Boot-up times are lightning-fast, and programs load almost instantly. Plus, with 2TB of storage capacity, you'll have plenty of space for all your files and media.
One of the best things about this SSD is that it uses 3D NAND technology, which allows for faster read and write speeds than traditional SSDs. It also has a longer lifespan than many other drives, thanks to its durability and reliability. So not only will you get a performance boost, but you'll also be investing in a drive that will last for years to come.
Overall, I highly recommend the Western Digital 2TB WD Blue 3D NAND Internal PC SSD to anyone looking to upgrade their computer's performance. It's a great investment that will pay off in terms of speed, storage, and durability. So go ahead and make the switch - you won't regret it!
From the moment I installed it, I noticed a significant improvement in the overall performance of my PC. The SATA III 6 Gb/s interface ensures that data transfer is seamless and efficient, while the M.2 2280 form factor keeps things compact and tidy inside my computer.
What really stands out is the blazing read speed of up to 560 MB/s, which means that loading times for applications and files have become virtually non-existent. Whether I'm working on complex projects or enjoying my favorite games, this SSD handles it all with ease.
I can't stress enough how much I love this product. It has not only boosted my productivity but also enhanced my gaming experience. The 2TB storage capacity is a blessing, allowing me to store a vast library of files without worrying about running out of space.
If you're in the market for an SSD, I highly recommend the Western Digital 2TB WD Blue 3D NAND Internal PC SSD. It's reliable, fast, and has made a world of difference in how I use my computer. Don't miss out on this fantastic upgrade!
