Good 2 TB SSD
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using this drive in a USB 3.0 connected external dock along with a 4TB WD NAS drive bought at the same time. I use it to backup Photos using Acronis TrueImage backup for WD. The highest speed of writing as displayed by the Backup software has been 1143 MBps while doing 1.1 TB full backup. More commonly for the differential backups I get around 514 MBPs (1.8GB backed up in 3.5 minutes). Compare this to the 4TB Blue NAS Drive which clocked 884 MBps for a full backup and typically 132MBps on a differential backup. Note these are not true benchmarks as they depend on a lot of factors: what's going on the PC and the disk from which the data is being read and differential backups particularly are based on what has changed so the backup software is also coming into play. One issue with this drive is that I was unable to register it on WD website and I have a case open with them.

Solid drive, good price, great reliability so far
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this as a hard drive for games, alongside my Samsung M.2 operating system drives, which are significantly more expensive. I basically have a three-tier setup...M.2's for OS and applications that need a lot of performance, this SSD for intermediate performance applications/games, and mechanical drives for larger storage. I've got several of these WD Blue SSDs and they all work flawlessly, and performance is quite good. Reliability has been good so far on the older ones as well. And the price point is good. Overall, I have no problem recommending this drive.

A must for dated hdd!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a hdd in my 10 year old laptop because windows 10 took about 10-15 minutes to boot up. This new hard drive took that down to about 15 seconds from button push,thru password, to home screen!! Originally 349, got for 199. Worth every penny. SSD is the future and I have arrived

Ehh, not that great
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought this would be a good substitute for my hard drive in the past, but it wasn't because it died within a few days... Not really recommended for my opinion. I feel like this would be more used for work than gaming.

Better than Samsung EVO!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sustained write speeds are 448 M/s. Samsung only can do 106. This hard drive is cheaper and is 4x faster than Samsung QVO and EVO. Highly recommended. Still have to partition the drive when you first install it.
