My primary desktop, saddled with a lethargic SATA HDD, seemed to have enrolled in the Slowpoke Marathon, with boot-up times that could rival a snail's cross-country journey. Initially eyeing a brand that could potentially drain my bank account, I stumbled upon the Western Digital (WD) SSD, a hero in shining silicon armor, offering both reliability and a friendlier price tag.
With both my trusty steeds, the primary and secondary HP Z620 Workstations, now equipped with the WD SSD, I witnessed a transformation akin to a caffeinated cheetah. Installing Linux POP-OS on my secondary PC turned it into a speedster, thanks to the SSD's magical potion. The boot-up time, once a coffee-break-worthy affair, now resembles the blink-and-you'll-miss-it sprint of an overenthusiastic track star.
To ensure my SSD didn't play hide-and-seek inside my PC, I threw in a mounting kit – because nobody likes surprise aerobatics from their storage devices. All in all, the WD SSD has earned its spot as the MVP (Most Valuable Part) in my tech ensemble. Considering the standing ovation it received, I'm already thinking about giving its twin a backstage pass in my next build.
