No More 5 Year Warranty?

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2018

Capacity: 500GBPattern Name: SSDVerified Purchase

I've ordered many of these drives, a couple 256, 500 and 1TB. Today I received a 500GB for a raid1, I already had the 2nd 500 on hand from a couple months ago and when I put the two packages next to each other I noticed the old on says 5 year warranty and the new one said 3 years! I compared the SKUs, the model numbers and more and they are identical in every way except for the warranty.

I read the document included in the box and that also confirms the 3 year warranty but when I look at retailers sites, Western Digital's website, their data sheets and warranty status checker, everything still says 5 years. Very confusing and concerning.

Very fast & works in a desktop computer

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2018

Capacity: 1TBPattern Name: SSDVerified Purchase

I bought this WD Blue 1TB SSD to replace a hard drive that I thought was the likely cause of some data corruption experienced in a desktop top-line computer.

It required also buying an SATA III cable and a 2.5” to 3.5” adapter bracket to fit in the desktop bay since they are not included with the drive.

The drive did not come with any useful instructions, but this procedure worked:
1. Shut down
2. Leave original drive as is; connect new drive to power and an unused SATA port on motherboard
3. Power up. Normal but new drive does not show in My Computer
4. Run Acronis software available free from WD’s site
a. Select “Clone disk” and automatic mode
b. It identified the old and new disks
c. It ran about 1.5 hours and cloned the original drive, including all partitions and 500 GB of data
d. It shut down computer automatically
5. Disconnected power and SATA cable from old drive
6. Connected new drive to the SATA port on motherboard where old drive had been
7. Powered up. It booted OK. Everything seems fine.

Boot up and opening programs seems about 5 times faster than with the original spinning disk hard drive. I can’t evaluate long term reliability, but my initial impression is excellent.

I've bought hundreds of drives over the years (I'm an old computer technician) and it always comes down to Western Digital & Seagate for standard mechanical drives; and Western Digital or Samsung for SSD-type drives. I prefer the Western Digital for the mechanical type but for the SSD-type like the Blue 500GB drive referred to here, either the Samsung or WD work great (I have several of each). Go with the least expensive of the two, they are both high quality drives.

Good upgrade for old Win 7 machines

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2018

Capacity: 250GBPattern Name: SSDVerified Purchase

Bought 6 of these to upgrade old office PCs and milk another year or so out of them. They are Dell Win 7 machines, and now boot in 15-20 seconds vs 2-3 min before. Everything launches quicker, too, and the SSDs give the impression of a much faster computer without having a faster CPU or memory. Within reason. Won't necessarily speed up already running programs. But, for these old ones that only have 4 GB RAM, it should also speed up shuffling data in RAM to the pagefile virtual RAM.

I used Macrium Reflect to clone each of the drives, using a USB3 external hard drive case made for quick swapping of drives, in case anybody cares.

This SSD is approximately $50 cheaper than it's predecessor and delivers same fantastic results!

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2018

Capacity: 500GBPattern Name: SSDVerified Purchase

I got this SSD HD to replace and improve my daughters HP Pavilion Laptop (The original HD was a Segate 5400rpm 500GB SATA II Traditional Laptop HD) the performance issues that this laptop had been having which was mainly due to the growing resource demands over the years from the newer Windows Operating Systems (Going from Windows 7 to Windows 10) and the newer requirements from the current software as well. Needless to say very infuriating for someone who is trying to get her school work done.

PROS: Nothing but Praise

CONS: Absolutely None

Recommended Additional Software and Tools to perform the Hard Drive upgrade with:
- (Needed, unless your reloading the OS from Scratch) Use Macrium Reflect 7 Free Edition (Just do a Google Search to find) to clone your Old hard drive to the New One. It's an easy download that will install into your existing hard drive to make an exact clone to your New One. Best part the Free Edition does not cost a dime.
- (Needed, unless your cloning a Desktop then Optional) Use this USB to SATA Drive connection cable Sabrent USB 3.0 to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Adapter [Optimized For SSD, Support UASP SATA III] (EC-SSHD) for only $10 to clone the new drive with. Of course if it is for a Desktop this will not be needed but for 95% of the Laptops out there it's a must!
- (Optional, if you already have a similar tool set) If your changing the hard drive out of these newer Laptops (within the Last 4 years) I would buy this tool kit Soucolor 78 in 1 Precision Screwdriver Set, Magnetic Driver Kit, Repair Tool Kits with Portable Case for iPad, iPhone, Tablets, Laptops, PC, Smartphones, Watches, Electronics Disassembly to access the Hard Drive, especially for those needing a plastic pry tool, can't go wrong for $20.

Once I installed the new SSD the difference was literally night and day, the boot up from Bios to Operating System (Windows 10) was almost literally instantaneous (I would say give or take 5 to 10 seconds), the response time on applications and any action in general was also instantaneous.

Only other recommendation I would make is to make sure the BIOS on your laptop/PC is current so there are no compatibility issues with the SSD.

Please NOTE: This HD is approximately $50 cheaper than it's predecessor Western Digital WD Blue SSD interne 500 Go - SATA 6 Gbit/s 2,5" but has the same excellent results.

Overall I could not be happier, This will unfortunately will be that last upgrade that I will be able to do this Laptop (See the system system specs below).

I would highly recommend this SSD Hard Drive for all older PC performance related problems.

Specs:
HP Pavilion Laptop (June 2012)
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Processor: AMD X6 @ 1.40 GHz (4 Cores)
RAM: 8 GB (Max Capacity)
Hard Drive: 500GB WD-Blue 3D NAND SSD (Replaced original Segate 500GB 5400RPM SATA Drive)

Warranty Info is misleading!

Capacity: 500GBPattern Name: SSDVerified Purchase

Warranty Info is misleading!
On the package and in the manual came with the package, it says the warranty is three years. I bought it because of the five year warranty. Thus, I registered the drive on the web site and it indicates that the warranty is indeed five years.
I downloaded the Acronis True Image WD edition from wpc web site and it worked just fine. I have Windows 7 and everything went smoothly. My original drive is 1 TBytes and had a lot of empty spaces. I resized it to less than 500GB from Microsoft Disk Management before running Acronis True Image. Some buyers reported problems using Acronis for Windows 10 though.

400 TBW IS THE HIGHEST IN SATA SSD TODAY

Reviewed in India on August 16, 2018

Capacity: 1TBPattern Name: SSDVerified Purchase

Yes a new storage but why an ssd you may ask as usual let me answer a few FAQS first
1 What is a ssd ?
ANS A ssd or solid state drive is a storage device like a harddisk but the spinning disks are replaced by memory modules and is a lot faster and more reliable than even the modern harddisks

2 How fast are they
ANS SSDs are amazingly fast in this products case it is an SATA ssd so it is limited to 600mpbs in a SATA 3 port and 150mpbs in SATA 2. That is just for SATA ssd but for NVME drives it is a whole another story

3 NVME What is that
ANS NVME or non volatile memory express is a host controller interface by which an m.2 ssd is connected to a ×4 pcie slot and these four lanes are connected directly to the cpu giving you blazing fast read and writes

4 What is TCL
ANS SLC - single level cell 1 bit per cell
MLC -multi level cell 2 bits per cell
TLC - triple level cell 3 bits per cell

Now about the product product it is manufactured on 12nm San disk memory chips

PROS
1 . 3 YEARS WARRANTY
2 . 400 TB DATA WRITTEN WHICH IS THE HIGHEST

CONS
TLC can store three bits per cell for greater data density and more capacious SSDs in the same form factor but its sustained write performance is comparatively poor to SLC and MLC based drives

It is a wonderful product and I will recommend it to all my friends but not all of us can afford a ssd for our computers if you have tight budget but still need faster than harddisk performance I suggest you take a look at SSHD or Solid State Hybrid Drive it is not as fast but relatively cheap

PS : It is an electrostatic sensitive device please GROUND YOURSELF BEFORE HANDLING the product to discharge any esd

If you buy this product please take the time to write about the things you love or hate about it

AS ALLWAYS THANK YOU FOR READING THIS REVIEW IF YOU FOUND THIS HELPFULL OR UNHELPFUL YOU KNOW WHAT TO

Not working!!! but replacement came.

Reviewed in India on October 28, 2018

Capacity: 500GBPattern Name: SSDVerified Purchase

Got the SSD. Took me a few days to get a HDD holder to try to clone this drive. SSD was not being recognized by PC when connected to the HDD holder. Needed to isolate the problem. So took out the original HDD from my laptop and tested with the HDD holder - and it was being recognized! So the problem is with the SSD - but not able to return it now because there is no option to return it!!!!!!!!! Help !!!!!!!!!!

Amazon told me that manufacturer would be able to help. Called WD and they did an RMA process for me since there is a 3 yr warranty on the SSD. Had to drop off the bad drive at their local center - they tested and confirmed it was bad. A replacement will be mailed to me in a week or so - but it will be a refurbished drive and not a new one!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hoping that the replacement comes in working condition.

A bitter experience overall - paying retail price to finally get a used drive!!! Thanks Amazon! - for tossing me over to the manufacturer.

Update (20 Nov 18)
WD sent me a replacement, which looks like a new drive (not refurbished, as I was told by their support team). I cloned my HDD and installed it. laptop working much faster now. I am upgrading the review to a 4 star from a 1 star because of my experience dealing with WD. Despite the early pain, the whole WD replacement experience was rather smooth - I want to show my appreciation for this.

Very good to refresh an ageing pc

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2018

Capacity: 500GBPattern Name: SSDVerified Purchase

I came within a whisker of spending £600 on rebuilding my 7 year old self built PC as it was becoming increasingly, painfully slow. After testing everything I could with free tools it seemed most likely to be that both HDD’s were beginning to fail. So I thought I’d try a SATA SSD first, on the basis that if that didn’t fix it I could at least re-use it as a second drive if I then went ahead with a new board, memory, CPU and m.2 SSD.

In the event it’s worked a treat. My PC now boots up to windows login in about 20 seconds and applications like outlook, excel, browsers, open up more or less instantaneously. I’d have been happy with that result from the £600 spend and doubt I’d have even noticed anything quicker. The only games I still play are ancient and undemanding, so unless something else wears out I’d hope to have the effect of a new pc for maybe another 2 or 3 years by which time everything I’d have bought today will be cheap as chips.

As for the SSD itself, I’m afraid I can’t really tell you anything useful that would help differentiate between this one and another one. I’ve used WD forever and it’s creditable that the HDD drives this has replaced were 7 and 18 years old respectively.

Fitting it was of course a doddle, if you can replace a fuse you can replace a hard drive, just remember to check whether you need a 2.5 to 3.5 inch bracket to mount it in the case as older cases often don’t have 2.5 inch drive bays.

クローン作成時には注意が必要なようです

Reviewed in Japan on December 4, 2018

Capacity: 500GBPattern Name: SSDVerified Purchase

ASUSのノートパソコンのHDD換装に使いました。OSはWindows10です。先に蓋をあけてWDの500Gが入っていたのを確認しましたので、同一のメーカーにしました。使い慣れたEaseUS Todo Backup（Free)で軽い気持ちで”クローン”作成にしましたが、思わぬところに落とし穴がありました。開始してからどうも不安になり一旦キャンセルしてネットで調べたところ「MBRが正常に出来ていないと失敗する」ようで、よく見るとこちらのSSDは新しいタイプのパーティション"GPT”になっていました。これを”MBR”にしないといけないのでひと手間かかりました。
今回は親切な方の解説入りのクローンの仕方を読めたので、助かりましたが購入する前の情報にはこの点の記載は無く、注意が必要と思います。他社の製品がどちらのフォーマットになっているのかもわかりませんでした。
古くからのWindowsユーザーですが新しい製品には疎いのでこんな落とし穴にも気づかないものですね。
まだ交換して間もないので性能についてのレビューはありません。

Si encuentras un Samsung 860 EVO a precio similar, ¡Cómpralo!

Reviewed in Mexico on February 21, 2018

Capacity: 1TBPattern Name: SSDVerified Purchase

Mi conclusión sobre cuál SSD elegir es simple, de las marcas y productos Samsung 860 EVO, Western Digital Blue 3D NAND, Sandisk Ultra 3D y Crucial MX500 compra el más barato. Yo sé que existen otras marcas pero esas son las que considero mejores para montar el sistema operativo, utilizar como almacenamiento auxiliar (recomendado para juegos) y almacenamiento externo (que no recomiendo tanto). En mi opinión la mejor marca, la que tiene el mejor soporte, las mayores velocidades, el mejor controlador y el mejor software es Samsung, es el rey. Aun así, compré este WD Blue de 1 TB con la intensión de utilizarlo en una PS4 y consolas de versiones posteriores. Me ha dejado satisfecho en cuanto a rendimiento y precio.
Al principio, me preocupaba mucho por el desempeño (velocidades) del SSD. Me di cuenta de que los SSD que mencioné antes son similares entre sí y su funcionamiento es casi imperceptible. Mi sugerencia es comprar el que tenga el mejor precio y que se ajuste a tus necesidades.
