WD Blue SSD Drives are TOP SHELF !
When SSD drives first came out, many of us heard about how fast they are, how light weight, and what amazing performance they could add to a computer. But many have waited, as with any new technology, the price was a little high compared to older hard drive/storage technology and we wanted to be certain they were reliable.
Well, the TIME IS NOW to "go SSD drive" if you haven't already. The prices are very reasonable now, and you now have the stalwart of the storage industry, "Western Digital" (WD Blue) making, and backing these drives up with their name, their reputation, and history of making quality products.
An SSD in my mind, is the single greatest and simplest thing you can do, to take an older model computer, and HOT ROD IT to run like you just put a new turbo engine under the hood ! It's stunning how much faster your computer will boot-up, how fast it will run, and it will run cooler and w/ less power, all while performing so much better. An amazing technology.
You can always use the SSD as your "main drive" to get speed and performance, and still use and older style "spinning" drive if you need very large amounts of storage to hold video, or photos, etc It's a win-win.
Go WD Blue SSD and you can't go wrong IMO. I'm going to buy another and have already told several other people- that I highly recommend they upgrade their machines now to a SSD drive. I told them, "Once you experience the speed improvement and the quiet and the cool running technology, you'll never be able to go back, it's that good".
Like I remember watching my first DVD movie, then trying to watch an old, grainy VHS tape afterword- you knew a DVD changed things forever. SSD drives and WD Blue are the future now. Go for it !!Read full review...

It is worth every time
When it comes to storage needs nothing beats a Western Digital in my book. Very reliable, I have yet to one of my WD drives crash or fail. You can never go wrong with this product.

Nice
Cloned this drive from a 160gb WD hard drive and after booting it about doubled the speed of opening files. It produces about half the heat of the hard drive. One nice thing, since it is WD you can download excellent cloning software from their website that is free to WD owners..... Used it over a month now and no problems at all. Great update for my two year old dell laptop.Read full review...

Installed on old 2009 Dell Inspiron 1545
Installation of Win7pro x64 was fast and flawless via usb on my old 2009 Dell 1545 laptop. Had to use a spacer, but no problem :). Also has an upgraded LED display, Intel core2 duo P8700 processor, and 8gb ddr2 ram. Performs like a newer laptop. I'm happy :).Read full review...

Fast
It's my first SSD and have run this computer for several months with a conventional platter drive and so I can tell the difference for sure, it is noticeably faster. How long or how well it holds up remains to be seen but I have confidence in Western Digital and I have used number of their media devices and am pretty sure it will serve me well. I use this laptop a lot and I appreciate a good fast computer.Read full review...

Great for MacBook Pro!
I installed this in my wife's old 2010 MacBook Pro, since it was taking FOREVER to load each page. This knocked down the loading times to very good speeds and seems to work well so far. Saved me from purchasing a very expensive replacement laptop!Read full review...

Longivity
I love the WD SSD so far, very fast start up and over all surfing. AND it sold at a fair price to all. I have had other aux. drives, and none of them have lasted very long, we'll see how the WD works out.Read full review...

A drive that works fast and a good price
A good drive that does the job faster than a mechanical disk.
The product costs cheaper compared to another product I have tested.
Disadvantage is volume, 256 giga, I'd prefer more.
