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.

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.

I just bought this, but it works, and it cloned without any trouble. Can't complain at $189 compared to Samsung at >$225. I think the Samsung 850 rates a little faster, but compared to the 5400rpm drive installed in my laptop, this is just fine.

It works; Fast enough; good value for money

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.

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.

Makes a big difference compared to a hdd.

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

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.

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

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.
