Designed for a variety of computing applications like gaming, HD media playback, creative software, and more, the 1TB Blue 3D NAND SATA III 2.5″ Internal SSD from WD is verified for use with a wide range of desktop and laptop computers with a 2.5″ / 7mm drive bay for faster system boots, application responses, and transfer speeds. This SSD operates with a lower average active power draw of 60mW and features a storage capacity of up to 1TB, a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, sequential write speeds of up to 530 MB/s, sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s, random writes of up to 84,000 IOPS, and random reads of up to 95,000 IOPS. Also employed is 1.75 million hours MTTF (mean time to failure) and an endurance rating (lifetime writes) of 400 TBW (terabytes written).
With solid-state drive technology, you benefit from load and access times for your files and programs that are faster than a conventional 7200 rpm hard drive. As SSDs have no moving parts, they are also more durable than traditional hard drives and are better protected against damage from drops and bumps. Having no moving parts also means that SSDs receive less wear and tear, as there are no read or write heads for the drive media to come into contact with. SSDs also help to deliver improved battery life and cooler operating temperatures. Protection is provided by a limited 5-year warranty.

This is a nice and affordable drive. Its fast and quiet. I use it in my Zalman VE-350 and completely serves my purposes.

I haven’t used it yet but the company tried to be through but failed. They included the enclosure, the cable and even a small screw driver to put it all together. Which I thought was just awesome until I started putting it together and found out they forgot the 2 little screws needed to finish the job. I know I didn’t lose them because I opened it carefully on an empty table. Which makes this a 4 and not a 5. I could have done without the screw driver but I can’t do without the screws that hold it all together. Epic fail on the companies end.

I have more than 10 of these drives and adding more every month. I use them for footage backups and for archiving finished projects. Im a longtime WD user and so far (knock on wood) no drive failures.

Used this to replace an old HD in a 2011 iMac. Boots super fast, computer is silent now, runs like a new computer. I’d never done it before, so I wasn’t sure if it was going to change things but I’m glad I did

My 2010 MacBook Pro failed to function, so removing the old drive and replacing it with this WD 1TB Drive brought it back to life, and functioning better than ever! Thrilled to have my reliable old MacPro back…they don’t make the like that anymore! Many thanks to B&H, too, Have been a loyal customer for decades and will continue to be.

I have had it with viruses and corruption. I bought several of these WD drives and every so often I just pop the drive out of my laptop and clone it onto another drive. It beats raid and any other backup method I have tried. So if you develop a problem that is irreparable, Just go back to a cloned drive and go again. You can usually clone right over the corrupted drive and use it again. Buy a good disk to disk duplicator that runs independent of your computer.

I had a hard drive in before, and switching to an SSD made everything load so much faster. It has really transformed my gaming experience and made me have to wait so much less time. I boot up discord and a game at the same time and it takes no time at all. I reccomend this product highly especially if you are still on a hard drive like I was.

I use this drives in a Drobo raid enclosure and it works just fine (like all my other WD drives). No issues!
