Product Information

In this review, I am going to rate the WD SSD 500GB. The review will be on four main criteria, and I will mention what I liked, and what I didn’t like about the product. Furthermore, I will also share my experience and how I got the product up and running.

Why buy an expensive new desktop? With capacities of up to 4TB 1, high endurance, plus low power draw for more laptop life between charges and reduced vibrations compared to HDDs, the WD Blue SA510 SATA SSD is the perfect drive for a powerful PC upgrade.

BiCS5 rears its head

A Western Digital Blue SATA SSD drive uses technology not only for higher capacities (up to 4TB in the 2.5" 7mm form factor 1) than the previous generation WD Blue SSDs, but also to help reduce cell-to-cell interference for enhanced reliability. Based on read speed. 1 MB/s = 1 million bytes per second. Based on internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device, usage conditions, drive capacity, and other factors. Pero (de ahí que solo valore con 4 estrellas) los dos últimos comprados me han dado problemas de "Vida Restante" en muy poco tiempo de uso. El % de las escrituras en la vida últil del SSD bajó rapidamente (92% - ver datos SMART), en 3/4 días de utilización, aunque utilizo un disco duro HHD anexo para guardar ficheros, descargas, etc., y tengo desactivados Server Index, Superfetch, Prefetch, Hibernación, Desfragmentación automática y Desfragmentación en el arranque. De todas formas, al estar en garantía, WD España me ha autorizado el reemplazo (RMA) de los dos SSD WD Blue. Estoy a la espera de recibirlos, sobretodo para comprobar si se trata de unidades nuevas o re-certificadas (que no me gusta demasiado). Cloned my old boot SSD to this one after a lot of difficulty but in the process connected and disconnected it a lot and it still works fine. You will need to buy a ssd tray to mount in your case If your computer doesn't have one included as most are made for the bigger hdd. Will need mounting screws but most trays have them included. Also Sata and power cables too.

This Apple MacBook model is essentially the last model with the upgradable disk. Some other models are upgradable with M2 SSD. So, if your MacBook Pro is a mid-2012 or below, it is most likely upgradable.This review is very detailed, so if you just need to upgrade MacBook Pro, just scroll down to “Upgrade”. billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment. Were the tests of the original SN750 review performed in a different lab? Is it a different version? How come the better drive is worse? I shall not be held responsible for any damages to the drives or loss of data as a result of your mistakes in the process. You are to do this upgrade at your responsibility, and you hold all the risks associated with the upgrade.

No one can argue that this SSD is fairly priced. I can say it is definitely worth the investment. The value for money is just ridiculous. As used for storage capacity, 1GB=1,000,000,000 bytes and 1TB=1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.

Value that can be beat

Western Digital also promises an endurance rating of 400 terabytes written. That’s much higher than the Samsung 850 Evo, which only promises 150TB. It’s also much less than the Transcend SSD370, which offers an incredible 1,180TBW. Build your ideal creation engine.

Featuring read speeds up to 560MB/s 2, this fast SATA SSD delivers a performance boost that keeps up with your workloads so you can stay creative and be more productive. handy to have”. I think if WD supplied software to assist in the logistics of moving data, it would have been really fantastic. As an IT, I don’t trust free 3rd-party software, and if I went for paid software, it would cost high. Otherwise, there is absolutely none.

Step 5: The time it takes usually takes a while depending on your data. After you confirm that the new drive is working fine, you can swap the drives. (You can find step-by-step tutorials on Youtube)

Thank you!

Its performance, meanwhile, should be more than adequate for the entirety of the drive’s life, even if it lasts beyond a decade. All these figures are for the 1TB drive of each model line. Smaller drives usually also have lower TBW tolerances. Still, whatever the size, the endurance rating is high enough that a typical user won’t exceed it for at least a decade. Our Take
