Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Hard Drive This was an upgrade for my boyfriend's computer as his non SSD hard drive was slow and sluggish after 7 years. It works great, is super fast, and responds well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid State is the only way to go I love the solid state drive, having 500gb instead of 20 makes a big difference. I needed help from Dell customer service. If you seek help from them please make your purchase through them. It's only fair. The HD did not have matching mounting holes, so I had to use tape to secure it. Thanks, Dell

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cheaply Made The SATA port broke immediately...Poorly made - cheap plastic. And the migration software is not good. I returned it and bought a samsung EVO... Easy to install - easy migration and it works well

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A good investment I have found Western Digital equipment to be reasonably priced and highly reliable. I am using these drives to update some older I7 desktops to improve performance and keep them operational in the work environment. Recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product! I have installed about a dozen of these SSD drives over roughly the last year. They make such a difference in access speed on the computer that if a computer comes in that is three or more years old I just go ahead and swap out the drive and reload the O.S. and all the other software. I have had no issues with either installation, which couldn't be easier, or drive reliability. I would highly recommend these to anyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent and reliable Back in the day when hard drives were mechanical and you could hear the thing spinning up from across the room, how it was susceptible to vibrations that would crash the heads into the platter and leave a divot bigger than the one you left in your last golf outing; solid state drives are the game changer. No mechanical parts, no waiting for platters to spin up and no longer do you have to worry about upset managers pounding on their desk transferring their stress into those spinning platters. We have been replacing those mechanical beasts with these WD Blue SSD drives. These drives are in all sorts of environments and so far not a single failure. The performance increase is immediately noticed when compared to the old mechanical drives. The price is decent and the product has been reliable. What more could you ask for?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Now our standard replacment drive We just replaced about a half a dozen computers in the customer service department. their old machines were 4th gen i7 with 7200 RPM spinning disc. After labeling the old drives and placing them on a Shelf, we installed the new SSD’s and re-imaged the machines to be redeployed to other departments, It was rather surprising how much performance Improvement the SSD's made
