Review: It works until it doesn't. - This worked flawlessly for 2 years. Then it died suddenly and is unrecoverable.
Review: Great general use drive! - Bought it to store .safetensors files. It's not the fastest but way better than mechanical drives. Insanely easy to install and the storage capacity, for the price can't be beat. It's outlasted a much pricier m.2 drive I bought from another company. The performance is exactly as stated and it's built to last. Highly recommended, especially if you run out of m.2 ports.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: ssd 3d mac early 2011 compatibility**
A: I installed this drive yesterday into Late 2011 MacBook Pro and swapped out the two 2gb RAM sticks with two 4gb RAM sticks. The new speed and performance is amazing. You will need a USB to SATA cable to connect the new SSD to your MacBook to clone the hard drive.  I downloaded freeware called Super Duper to clone drive. Then I removed ten tiny screws to access back of laptop. Four more screws hold hard drive in place and four star drive screws have to be swapped onto new SSD. Download the user guide from Apple for your model for steps and pictures of operation. The memory swap was easy, just plastic tabs holding sticks in place.

**Q: Will this work with win xp sp3?**
A: I have a Western Digital 320GB 10,000 RPM Velociraptor in my old XP machine. I keep it for offline use with the programs that I do not want to upgrade. They work fine, so there is no use in spending money on newer versions. The XP machine is old, but I built it well and it is as fast with XP as most new machines are with bloated 7 and 10. If you can't find a reasonably priced WD Velociraptor, then a WD Blue 7200 RPM drive will put new life into your old XP machine. I will keep mine until lightening, or something as sinister, destroys it, but it doesn't go online anymore.

**Q: What’s in the box drive, wires, etc...?**
A: No wires, just the 500 GB SSD.

**Q: If i use a sata to usb 3.1 cable, will this work on my xbox one s?**
A: You need a USB 3.0 SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable for 2.5 Inch SSD & HDD

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great general use drive!
*by A***T on December 27, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be Sure To Update Firmware With Dashboard Software
*by T***N on December 16, 2025*

OK, besides the initial glitches with Windows, once I updated the SSD Firmware with WD/Sandisk Dashboard the drive worked perfectly! That said, my initial issues drove me nuts trying to update the firmware in Windows!!! I blame Microsoft more than WD for this instance. I would still buy WD drives over other SATA SSD's though because the firmware update process was seemless & I haven't encountered anymore faults since.
