Western Digital WD Blue 2.5″ SATA SSD, 550MB/s R, 525MB/s W, 5 Y Warranty, 250GB

Internal speeds rival the 850EVO. I’ve also used this as a USB 3.0 external HD (with Inatech caddy) and get around 430/420 read/write speeds. Works as advertised. WD is a respected brand, so you can go for it.

Yes a new storage but why an ssd you may ask as usual let me answer a few FAQS first1 What is a ssd ?ANS A ssd or solid state drive is a storage device like a harddisk but the spinning disks are replaced by memory modules and is a lot faster and more reliable than even the modern harddisks2 How fast are theyANS SSDs are amazingly fast in this products case it is an SATA ssd so it is limited to 600mpbs in a SATA 3 port and 150mpbs in SATA 2. That is just for SATA ssd but for NVME drives it is a whole another story3 NVME What is thatANS NVME or non volatile memory express is a host controller interface by which an m.2 ssd is connected to a ×4 pcie slot and these four lanes are connected directly to the cpu giving you blazing fast read and writes4 What is TCLANS SLC – single level cell 1 bit per cell MLC -multi level cell 2 bits per cell TLC – triple level cell 3 bits per cellNow about the product product it is manufactured on 12nm San disk memory chipsPROS1 . 3 YEARS WARRANTY2 . 400 TB DATA WRITTEN WHICH IS THE HIGHESTCONS TLC can store three bits per cell for greater data density and more capacious SSDs in the same form factor but its sustained write performance is comparatively poor to SLC and MLC based drivesIt is a wonderful product and I will recommend it to all my friends but not all of us can afford a ssd for our computers if you have tight budget but still need faster than harddisk performance I suggest you take a look at SSHD or Solid State Hybrid Drive it is not as fast but relatively cheapPS : It is an electrostatic sensitive device please GROUND YOURSELF BEFORE HANDLING the product to discharge any esdIf you buy this product please take the time to write about the things you love or hate about itAS ALLWAYS THANK YOU FOR READING THIS REVIEW IF YOU FOUND THIS HELPFULL OR UNHELPFUL YOU KNOW WHAT TO

Got the SSD. Took me a few days to get a HDD holder to try to clone this drive. SSD was not being recognized by PC when connected to the HDD holder. Needed to isolate the problem. So took out the original HDD from my laptop and tested with the HDD holder – and it was being recognized! So the problem is with the SSD – but not able to return it now because there is no option to return it!!!!!!!!! Help !!!!!!!!!!Amazon told me that manufacturer would be able to help. Called WD and they did an RMA process for me since there is a 3 yr warranty on the SSD. Had to drop off the bad drive at their local center – they tested and confirmed it was bad. A replacement will be mailed to me in a week or so – but it will be a refurbished drive and not a new one!!!!!!!!!!!! Hoping that the replacement comes in working condition.A bitter experience overall – paying retail price to finally get a used drive!!! Thanks Amazon! – for tossing me over to the manufacturer.Update (20 Nov 18)WD sent me a replacement, which looks like a new drive (not refurbished, as I was told by their support team). I cloned my HDD and installed it. laptop working much faster now. I am upgrading the review to a 4 star from a 1 star because of my experience dealing with WD. Despite the early pain, the whole WD replacement experience was rather smooth – I want to show my appreciation for this.

If your system do not support M.2 ssdOr you do not have money for 860, definately go for it.Pros:1. Its a SSD thats the biggest plus2. Light weight3. Read/write speeds are awesome specially when upgrading from HDD.CONS:1. Very bad service from local courier.2. Plastic used in body feels cheap comparing to the price.3. Crystal disk benchmark is showingread: 548MB/s (560MB/s promised)write: 507MB/s (530MB/s promised) even after running multiple times. Not a huge deal but even then its not as promised.

Battlefield 4,Battlefield 1,CSGO,Rainbow 6 A,PUBG(PC)not the emulator one for mobile…! .Back to topic :My whole system boots up in like stable in 10seconds .. I’m happy with it games load up super fast you can feel the difference . Got a good deal on Amazon .Trust me you won’t regret it if you know how to handle it ..
