Review: Understand your equipment, a great drive! - If you haven't done much research on this form factor of drive and how they work in a computer, you should read this whole review. If you know what you want already, this is a solid performer for the ssd type m. 2 and vastly out performs sata cable drives with a good price point to boot. Western digital is an old school drive maker, and this is a good example of solid hardware. If installing one of these on a desktop is new to you... If this is a new installation in a motherboard or you're switching to a new hard drive make sure you look at your motherboard specs. There are two kinds of M.2 drives that are common right now. Mid range Motherboards handle them in different ways. This drive is an m.2 ssd sata drive, so when you put it in, it uses a sata lane in order to work. This means that it may disable a sata plug on your motherboard. If your operating system (ie windows or Linux) is installed in the sata port you just shut off by installing this your system will fail to boot and you will have to move the plug on the old drive to get the computer to load or to clone your hard drive to this one. You may have to tell your bios what the new load order is. The other kind of common m. 2 drive is a m. 2 pcie ssd. It uses a pcie lane to work. If you have something plugged into a pcie expansion slot it may turn that slot off. Some folks have network cards or video cards plugged into these slots and it could be an inconvenience. These pcie drives are faster, but honestly I doubt most people will see a big difference and the list item I am posting this review on is perfect for most uses. Look at your motherboard book or do a little research before you install one of these if you are new to them so that you know what the install is going to change in your computer. This is a really great drive, it runs well, and I love how small it is... It lost one star from me in the gaming catagory because it does not come with a heatsink. I don't think it necessarily should have one for this price but I bought a cool led one because for that application it needs to have a heat spreader. Review: It works. - The Western Digital 1TB WD Blue 3D NAND SSD is a solid all-around performer in both internal and external use cases. In a Dell 7559 laptop, it not only boosts storage capacity over the stock drive but also noticeably improves system responsiveness and load times thanks to its SATA III interface and up to 560 MB/s read speeds. Later as an external drive in a good enclosure, it continues to perform reliably for backups, file transfers, and portable project storage. Overall, it is a versatile, dependable upgrade that works well in either role. ## Features - 3D NAND SATA SSD for capacities up to 4TB with enhanced reliability; As used for storage capacity, one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment - Sequential read speeds up to 560MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 530MB/seconds; As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second - An industry leading 1.75M hrs mean time to failure (MTTF) and up to 500 TBs written (TBW) for enhanced reliability; MTTF based on internal testing using Telcordia stress part testing; TBW calculated using Jedec client workload (JESD219).Slumber (mW):56 - WD F.I.T.

Read this https://rog.asus.com/articles/product-news/ssd-guide-pci-express-m-2-msata-and-sata-express-the-differences-explained/ and make sure your mobo accepts 2280 m.2 **Q: I know it states pc as platform but does anyone know if this will work for a mac? my mac currently has a similar ssd. thanks** A: I have installed WD Blue SSDs in my 2014 Mac Mini and in my 2015 21" iMac and have had no problem at all. The connectors are standard SATA, which is what both of my Macs had. So no adapters needed. Disk Utility was able to format the drive as a GIUD partition and then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to the old hard drive over to the SSD in an external enclosure. CCC also made the SSD a bootable volume (it copied EVERYTHING ... OS, applications, and data files). Once the SSD had everything on it I took the precaution of setting System Preferences/Startup Drive to the SSD (while it was still in the external enclosure) to confirm that it would boot from that drive. I knew it was booting from the SSD because normally my computer would take just over 3 minutes to boot from the old drive. When I booted it from the external SSD it booted in 27 seconds. By the way, the external enclosure was a USB 3.0 enclosure. If you use a USB 2.0 enclosure it won't be as fast. When I did the same thing to the Mac Mini the boot time went from just over 1 minutes with the old drive to 14.5 seconds booting from the SSD. It's like having a brand new computer. **Q: In the title i see a speed of sata iii 6 gb/s which is what my hard drive says for its speed. does that mean they will perform equally?** A: "Sata 3, 6Gb/s" is not the speed of the drive itself, it is the speed of the lanes which all of the sata ports use, combined. It's somewhat like saying the top average speed of 10 sprinters is 15mph, so the track they are running on is a 150mph track. Mechanical hard drives usually top out at a transfer speed of 150Mb/s, due to the moving parts inside, and the time it takes to convert the data on the magnetic disk inside. An SSD on the other hand, has no moving parts. The data is stored on memory chips, meaning there is no time lost in mechanical exchange. Sata-based SSD's (including this one) typically top out at 550Mb/s transfer speeds. Be careful when you are buying a M.2 style SSD, as you have to make sure that your motherboard supports the one you are choosing. There are 2 different types. M.2 Sata 3, and M.2 PCIe. The M.2 Sata 3 uses the Sata data lanes, just as your hard drive does, while the M.2 PCIe style takes advantage of the faster transfer speeds of the PCIe data lanes, and transfers the data through the same lines that your graphics card uses. Those SSD's can go as high as 3500Mb/s transfer speeds. (All speeds mentioned are READ speeds. WRITE speeds tend to be less than the given read speed on any drive style.) **Q: so this just straight up plugs into m2 slots what about the ears on the end? thinking about adding this as a 2nd m2 in my gaming rig** A: If your rig is compatible with M.2 SATA III, it is just a matter of plugging it in and configuring the operating system to how you want to use the SSD. The Acronis software you can download from WD website does a solid job of copying any existing SSD contents to the new one and making it as the system bootable SSD. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Understand your equipment, a great drive! *by A***S on June 24, 2019* If you haven't done much research on this form factor of drive and how they work in a computer, you should read this whole review.

The CPU arrived but the chip was loose inside the box. I could not install Windows 10 but was able to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. When I ran Chrome or Firefox under , the CPU kept hanging up. I changed to Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 DRAM 2133MHz (PC4 17000) C13 Memory Kit - Black, thinking may be memmory compabibil;ity from what I read on Youtube, web. But the problem still occured, can not install windows, kept on hanging when runing Chrome, FireFox under Ubuntu. Changed to G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) AMD X370 Memory Model F4-3200C14D-16GFX. Same problem occrued. I changed the mem clock to from 1600-3200 for 3200 MHZ and 1600-2133 MHZ for 2133 MHZ and 1600-3200 for G.Skill. Same problem. Can not install Windows 10. hung when ran Chrome under Ubuntu. Hung when ran Geekbench when it run under multi core, single core is ok. I ran mem test and it was ok. Thinking the CPU was damage during ship, I ask for replacement and got one. When i installed in the system ansd ran with G.Skill, It was able to boot windows 10, Ubuntu and no problem. I had to upgrade the BIOS to 1402 for the Asus Zenith to boot with 2950x. Now it works very smoothly. It run fast!!!!, Very happy with the unit. ## Frequently Bought Together - Western Digital 1TB WD Blue 3D NAND Internal PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, M.2 2280, Up to 560 MB/s - WDS100T2B0B - SSK M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) to NVME PCI-E SATA M-Key/(B+M) Key Solid State Drive External Enclosure Aluminum Support UASP Trim for SSDs 2242/2260/2280 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/45518603-western-digital-1tb-wd-blue-3d-nand-internal-pc-ssd](https://www.desertcart.is/products/45518603-western-digital-1tb-wd-blue-3d-nand-internal-pc-ssd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
