Review: Understand your equipment, a great drive! - If you haven't done much research on this form factor of drive and how they work in a computer, you should read this whole review. If you know what you want already, this is a solid performer for the ssd type m. 2 and vastly out performs sata cable drives with a good price point to boot. Western digital is an old school drive maker, and this is a good example of solid hardware. If installing one of these on a desktop is new to you... If this is a new installation in a motherboard or you're switching to a new hard drive make sure you look at your motherboard specs. There are two kinds of M.2 drives that are common right now. Mid range Motherboards handle them in different ways. This drive is an m.2 ssd sata drive, so when you put it in, it uses a sata lane in order to work. This means that it may disable a sata plug on your motherboard. If your operating system (ie windows or Linux) is installed in the sata port you just shut off by installing this your system will fail to boot and you will have to move the plug on the old drive to get the computer to load or to clone your hard drive to this one. You may have to tell your bios what the new load order is. The other kind of common m. 2 drive is a m. 2 pcie ssd. It uses a pcie lane to work. If you have something plugged into a pcie expansion slot it may turn that slot off. Some folks have network cards or video cards plugged into these slots and it could be an inconvenience. These pcie drives are faster, but honestly I doubt most people will see a big difference and the list item I am posting this review on is perfect for most uses. Look at your motherboard book or do a little research before you install one of these if you are new to them so that you know what the install is going to change in your computer. This is a really great drive, it runs well, and I love how small it is... It lost one star from me in the gaming catagory because it does not come with a heatsink. I don't think it necessarily should have one for this price but I bought a cool led one because for that application it needs to have a heat spreader.
Review: It works. - The Western Digital 1TB WD Blue 3D NAND SSD is a solid all-around performer in both internal and external use cases. In a Dell 7559 laptop, it not only boosts storage capacity over the stock drive but also noticeably improves system responsiveness and load times thanks to its SATA III interface and up to 560 MB/s read speeds. Later as an external drive in a good enclosure, it continues to perform reliably for backups, file transfers, and portable project storage. Overall, it is a versatile, dependable upgrade that works well in either role.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a sata drive or an m.2 drive? the picture is of an m.2 but the descriptions sounds like it's a sata drive.**
A: It is an m.2 drive with a sata 3 connection. Read this https://rog.asus.com/articles/product-news/ssd-guide-pci-express-m-2-msata-and-sata-express-the-differences-explained/ and make sure your mobo accepts 2280 m.2

**Q: I know it states pc as platform but does anyone know if this will work for a mac? my mac currently has a similar ssd. thanks**
A: I have installed WD Blue SSDs in my 2014 Mac Mini and in my 2015 21" iMac and have had no problem at all.  The connectors are standard SATA, which is what both of my Macs had.  So no adapters needed.  

Disk Utility  was able to format the drive as a GIUD partition and then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to the old hard drive over to the SSD in an external enclosure. CCC also made the SSD a bootable volume (it copied EVERYTHING ... OS, applications, and data files).  Once the SSD had everything on it I took the precaution of setting System Preferences/Startup Drive to the SSD (while it was still in the external enclosure) to confirm that it would boot from that drive.  I knew it was booting from the SSD because normally my computer would take just over 3 minutes to boot from the old drive.  When I booted it from the external SSD it booted in 27 seconds.  By the way, the external enclosure was a USB 3.0 enclosure.  If you use a USB 2.0 enclosure it won't be as fast.

When I did the same thing to the Mac Mini the boot time went from just over 1 minutes with the old drive to 14.5 seconds booting from the SSD.

It's like having a brand new computer.

**Q: In the title i see a speed of sata iii 6 gb/s which is what my hard drive says for its speed. does that mean they will perform equally?**
A: "Sata 3, 6Gb/s" is not the speed of the drive itself, it is the speed of the lanes which all of the sata ports use, combined. It's somewhat like saying the top average speed of 10 sprinters is 15mph, so the track they are running on is a 150mph track. Mechanical hard drives usually top out at a transfer speed of 150Mb/s, due to the moving parts inside, and the time it takes to convert the data on the magnetic disk inside. An SSD on the other hand, has no moving parts. The data is stored on memory chips, meaning there is no time lost in mechanical exchange. Sata-based SSD's (including this one) typically top out at 550Mb/s transfer speeds. Be careful when you are buying a M.2 style SSD, as you have to make sure that your motherboard supports the one you are choosing. There are 2 different types. M.2 Sata 3, and M.2 PCIe. The M.2 Sata 3 uses the Sata data lanes, just as your hard drive does, while the M.2 PCIe style takes advantage of the faster transfer speeds of the PCIe data lanes, and transfers the data through the same lines that your graphics card uses. Those SSD's can go as high as 3500Mb/s transfer speeds. (All speeds mentioned are READ speeds. WRITE speeds tend to be less than the given read speed on any drive style.)

**Q: so this just straight up plugs into m2 slots what about the ears on the end? thinking about adding this as a 2nd m2 in my gaming rig**
A: If your rig is compatible with M.2 SATA III, it is just a matter of plugging it in and configuring the operating system to how you want to use the SSD. The Acronis software you can download from WD website does a solid job of copying any existing SSD contents to the new one and making it as the system bootable SSD.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SSD is great, software is junk
*by C***R on April 23, 2019*

The SSD itself is great so far. It arrived today and so far it's working perfectly. However, the Acronis cloning software provided by WD is absolute junk. First of all it's a huge download that failed several times when I tried to get it and my connection was perfectly stable so I know it's not on my end. Secondly the software is not easy to use, it wouldn't let me easily resize my OS partition; I had to fight with it for a few minutes to get the settings the way I wanted them. Thirdly the software is glitchy - it does this thing where it reboots the computer and then works on copying the partitions without running the OS - while it was cloning my old drive it just went to a black screen with only the mouse/spinner showing. If not for my HDD light I wouldn't know anything was happening at all. After over 2 hours of waiting for this thing to finish (as I read online people waited a long time and eventually it finished and rebooted the computer normally) I decided that it wasn't going to work. I was cloning an existing, smaller, SSD and I knew that it shouldn't be taking this long. So I tried to reboot my PC to get out of this black screen and guess what - it boots right back into the black screen again. The only way to break out of it was to remove the new drive, restart, boot normally, shutdown, reinstall the new drive again. Do yourself a huge favor and use Macrium Reflect instead - it's free and works much much better. It's not that obvious how to resize partitions with Marcium (if you need to do that, which I did as I was going from smaller drive to larger one), so go watch a youtube video about it or poke around a while until you find it. Macrium was done cloning in about 20 minutes and no reboot or crazy black screen required. So far the cloned drive is working perfectly, no issues at all after playing a huge game for hours.
