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.

Cloned my 500GB HDD to this WD Blue 1TB SSD while simultaneously expanding the main partition. Works perfectly. PC now runs at least 5X faster. Used AOMEI Backupper Standard (free) to execute the cloning and partition expansion process in one step.

I bought this because I was wanting to switch from a 2TB mechanical 7200rpm drive so I can have an all SSD system. It works great! It’s snappy, most of my pro apps load almost instantaneously and if you’re a gamer, you can’t go wrong either. Premiere Pro doesn’t have a hard time scrubbing 4k H.264 footage and game loading times are way shorter than they are on a standard mechanical drive. The time to have SSD mass storage is now.
