There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The reason for the HD swap is that the old HDD seemed to doing a lot of work that slowed the computers down, especially at startup. This one is a modestly priced HP that has a 7th Gen i5 and a basic 8gb ram. The result of the upgrade is that the computer runs at light speed for the basic tasks I use it for. Startup feels instantaneous as does the loading of any programs running on the machine. I'm not a gamer so I can't comment on that high level of function but for everything else it's a charm.
Installation was fairly easy. WD has good online tools to clone the existing hard drive and also to manage the SSD. It's similar to the suite that Samsung offers. On this install, I had a brief problem when my computer wouldn't recognize the SSD attached through a USB 3 cable. The remedy was easily found with a Google search so I won't repeat it here. That added perhaps 5 minutes to the process.
Conclusion - I'm happy with the product, support and most of all performance.
There is a lot of info on line that explains the difference in performance and life span of various SSDs. I thought this one was in a sweet spot of quality and price. Admittedly that's a very non technical assessment.
The upgrade process was effortless using the Acronis software that was provided free of charge. Note, you have to go to Western Digital's website to get it and there's noting in the included instructions that mention anything about it, so you have to know to look for it. They could have done much better with the included documentation. To find it, just click on 'Support', then follow the choices to find your particular product, then select 'Downloads' and the software is there.
Acronis cloned my existing drive to the new SSD, then it was just a quick swap of the drives and done. Computer is now lightening-fast. Since I was replacing a 3.5" desktop drive, I also bought the Fenlink 2.5" to 3.5" Internal SSD Hard Drive SATA Drive Converter, which is very high quality and available here on Amazon for around $12 at the time. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ELRRKW8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. So for about $120 I feel like I have a new computer and since it's fairly high-end, I feel that the upgrade was a better choice over buying a whole new system.
Spend the extra money and get an SSD from the start; you will not regret it.
I highly recommend this product as Western Digital has a solid record of producing quality products and I can only hope this one is no exception. It claims to have a 5-year warranty, so I will update this review if any problems arise. However, since SSD have no mechanical parts they typically outlast traditional hard drives.
>>The installation procedure that I used below worked flawlessly for me (I did not use the Acronis cloning software because my laptop only has one internal HD bay and Acronis advised not to clone an existing system drive to an externally connected USB drive-bay because the cloned drive may fail to boot):
1. Created a system image of the original Samsung HD using the standard Windows 10 process in control panel (saved the system image to an external USB3 HD)
2. Created a system start-up/repair boot DVD when prompted to do so after the system image creation process successfully completed (my laptop has a DVD burner in it, but you can make one with a USB jump drive too)
3. Shut down the laptop and removed the battery
4. Removed the bottom cover on the laptop and replaced the old HD with the new WD Blue 1TB SSD
5. Reinstalled the battery and turned the laptop back on with the external USB3 HD connected
6. After turning laptop back on it asked for a start-up boot disc since the new SSD was blank and un-initialized
7. Inserted DVD and rebooted laptop to load the system start-up/repair program
8. Selected 'restore drive from system image' on the menu and it automatically searched and found the previously created system image located on the external USB3 HD
9. Started the restoration process, which took about an hour to finish
10. After restoration process successfully completed, I removed the system boot DVD and restarted the laptop (as instructed by Windows)
11. System booted up quickly with zero problems and everything was just like the original drive in every way, only much faster! I feared all sorts of drama upon start-up with the new SSD, but I was elated to see everything worked perfectly (all existing program product keys and iTunes account mapped over transparently)
As for long term reliability, I cannot say because it’s only been a few days since I installed it, but I’ve had good luck with WD products over the years (after successful SSD installation I went to WD's website and filled out the warranty registration online). The speed increase and low power consumption make this SSD an excellent upgrade from older slow HD’s. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Top reviews from other countries
Design and quality wise it was much smaller, lighter and plasticky than i expected. Guess I’m more used to having HDD, however this is completely worth the investment. It is easy to install and performance wise it's amazing. I feel like i can actually use my laptop now, previously with the HDD drive i needed to plug the power in to my laptop to actually use it with the SSD i don't need to plug it in to the power source and it works like a dream. I've been using this for 2 weeks now and have not faced any issues yet.
I carried out for some basic tests to see the changes in performance. All the "Previous test" were with the HDD and power plugged in and all the "current test" were done with the SSD without the power plugged in. Please bare in mind the performance you'll get will depend on your own laptop/pc specs.
Performance test
- Previous boot time - around 21 seconds
- Current boot time around 8-10 seconds
- Previous opening Microsoft word - around 10 seconds
- Current opening Microsoft word - around 1-3 seconds
- Previous loading Valorant to home screen - around 1 min 30 seconds +
- Current loading Valorant to home screen - around 42 seconds
SSD's will give you much better performance than a HDD. It's a perfect minor upgrade to your laptop or pc to add extra life to your machine. I would 100% Recommend this product.
One thing to keep in mind i use Macrium to clone my HDD to SSD. Initially i did come across some errors on the first couple of runs. You just got to ensure that there's no dust and is plugged in correctly and it should work fine.
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
