Product Information

With a certification from the WD Functional Integrity Testing Lab (F.I.T. Lab™), every WD Blue SATA SSD is verified for compatibility with a wide range of desktop and laptop computers. SSD is designed with no moving parts to help protect against data loss if it is accidentally bumped or dropped. And with 1.75M hours MTTF (mean time to failure) 2, up to 600 TBW (terabytes written) 3, and several error correction technologies, WD Blue SATA SSDs can help guard data for years to come.

The new Western Digital Blue series SSDs come to market in three capacities that range from 1TB to 250GB. The Blue's hardware is identical to the SanDisk X400 we recently tested, and it ships in both 2.5" and M.2 2280 (AHCI SATA) flavors. Western Digital tells us that it changed the firmware, but we don't have many details. A WD Blue SATA Internal SSD can last up to 1.75M hours MTTF 2 (mean time to failure), with up to 600 TBW 3 (terabytes written), and has built in technology to correct errors in real time.
