I bought this drive to install my Operating System and it worked like a charm. 250g is really all I need for my OS since I have extra drives for all my other content. I was told by a friend that you shouldnt have anything really on your OS drive besides your apps.

Makes a big difference compared to a hdd.

The WD Blue is a decent SSD that may be worth the investment when the price comes down.

The WD Blue SSD is faster than any regular hard drive and you can write a ton of data to it before it wears out

The drive is expensive and doesn't justify the added cost; It has a short warranty

On the same motherboard, CPU, and RAM, Samsung EVO 850 is definitely faster albeit Samsung EVO has 10 GB less storage. But overall, it is still fast.

had one from crucial previously and unfortunately the one I had was less quality-built: motherboard could not find the drive or the drive was disconnected while in the middle of running it. Then bought this one, as WD has been my long time choice of mechanic drives.

Win 10 installation of this SSD has a load time now of about 15 seconds, so much better than the old HDD performance.

Good SSD. If you are thinking about upgrading your mechanical drive, it is well worth it. This is a great product at a good price for a computer that needs an extra little punch of speed. Even if it is a quot;operating system onlyquot; drive for your computer, you will not be disappointed.

The WD Blue SSD has a great performance to price ratio however, it seems to have some firmware compatibilities with certain Mac EFI firmwares. This drive was ordered to be installed as a second drive in a MacBookPro 15 (mid 2012) but it seems to be incompatible with that Mac EFI firmware.

I highly recommend these drives in whatever size you need, they have not failed on me yet and are extremely fast!

I installed this drive in a mid-level computer as the Windows system drive C: along with a 500GB WD Blue standard hard drive as the user drive D: as a cheaper alternative than my friend having to get a new computer; The boot time is what most people appreciate most.

I have found no issues with this drive...it runs fast; cool; and without errors

Its a Western Digital SSD, you know what your getting. Fast enough, large enough, but most importantly reliable and well priced. Couldnt ask for much more from anyone.
