Features

High capacity with enhanced reliabilityA WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD uses Western Digital 3D NAND technology not only for higher capacities (up to 2TB) than the previous generation WD Blue SSDs, but also to help reduce cell-to-cell interference for enhanced reliability. Enhanced power efficiencyOffering improved endurance, a WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD features an active power draw up to 25% lower than previous generations of WD Blue SSDs. And with less power used, you're able to work longer before recharging your laptop. Superior performance for high-end computingFor a variety of computing applications like gaming, HD media playback, or creative software, look to WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSDs. Western Digital 3D NAND technology helps enable sequential read speeds up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 530 MB/s for fast system boot-ups, quick application responses, and rapid transfer speeds.Leading-edge reliabilityAn SSD is designed with no moving parts to help protect against data loss if it is accidentally bumped or dropped. And with 1.75M hours MTTF (mean time to failure), up to 500 TBW (terabytes written), and several error correction technologies, WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSDs can help guard data for years to come. Broad compatibilityWith a certification from the WD Functional Integrity Testing Lab (F.I.T. Lab), every WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD is verified for compatibility with a wide range of desktop and laptop computers. Every WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD goes through extensive compatibility and reliability testing to ensure it meets the high standards of the WD brand.Downloadable WD SSD Dashboard and Acronis softwareMonitor your drive's available capacity, operating temperatures, SMART attributes and more with the WD SSD Dashboard. Acronis True Image WD Edition software, available as a free download, can clone drives and backup your operating system, applications, settings and all of your data.

  1. Patrick S.

    Pros: The new WD SSDs is based on its 64-layer 3D NAND memory chips and also a Marvell controller (presumably, the 88S1074 or the 88NV1120) with some additional engineering and in-house developed firmware. Both ICs support Marvell’s third-gen LDPC-based ECC technology, but the 88NV1120 does not require any DRAM cache to work, lowering BOM of the drives. Western Digital has not confirmed the exact controller it uses, but all modern Marvell SSD ICs support LDPC. This drive installed without a…

    Pros: The WD blue SSD is their second generation platform which has been updated with 3D BiCS flash 64 layer NAND TLC. The latest Marvell 88SS1074 controller also improves upon the 1st generation , Marvell’s third-generation NANDeXtend LDPC-based ECC technology with custom firmware. Free download of their dashboard software to monitor the drive, update firmware, etc. F.I.T lab tested to be compatible and reliable over a broad range of desktop/laptop computers as well as various custom built…

    Pros: A lot of reviewers have already posted performance specs (e.g., random read/write, sequential read/write, 512, 4K, random, etc.) so I’m not going to rehash all of that except to affirm WD’s stated claims of 550MB/s read and 525MB/s write. It’s difficult to differentiate offerings like SSDs for a lot of technical reasons and difficult to validate “marketing”. It’s not like I can reverse engineer the firmware to corroborate how wear-leveling and ECC actually takes place vs a competitor’s…

    Pros: I got this drive and put it to work immediately. I ran CrystalDiskMark 5.2.2 against this drive and a Kingston and a Samsung SSD, all purchased new within the last 12 months. Result? A small difference in numbers, each of the 3 drives was slightly better (usually under 1%) in one category than the other. Close enough where I can’t conceive of a circumstance where anyone could reasonably find one “superior” enough over the other. I set it up as separate storage for VM (Virtual Machines)…

    Pros: Much better performance compared to the previous Blue SSD drives Cons: Random 4K reads are weak, hopefully this is something with firmware that can be addressed in the future. Overall Review: This review is for the WD Blue SSD 500GB model WDS500G2BOA. This is a 2.5 inch form factor drive. For this review it’s running firmware X61130WD. This drive surprised me from the get go. I own and use 16 SSDs in my home PCs. These drives come from a variety of Vendors and sizes 128GB-1TB…and…

  6. Greg P.

    Pros: WHY THIS IS SIGNIFICANT First consumer 2TB sized SATA SSD with 3D BiCS NAND. The 3D TLC NAND is truly high-performance and can undergo sustained write activity. (Planar 2D NAND usually requires a SLC buffer and the write activity tanks after a couple seconds when the buffer is filled.) PERFORMANCE Performance is so good that it saturates the SATA 6Gbps interface. It uses the Marvell 88SS1074 4-channel controller with low-density parity check (LDPC) error correction. ENDURANCE No…

  7. John P.

    Pros: First step I took was to clone my desktop using USB3 port and an Orico 2.5 drive adapter took 25 minutes to clone 177GB from a 240GB SanDisk Z410 then I wiped the drive installed it in the same computer and re-cloned it and it took 20 minutes same computer same original SSD. Then removed SanDisk drive and booted off the new drive took approximately 21 seconds from push power button to inside windows. Everything migrated without any issue. I used MiniTool Partition Wizard 10. WD does…

  8. Joseph C.

    Pros: Fast drive limited by the Sata interface Lower power consumption(compared to older wd blue drives) 3D nand enhances drive reliability and sizes Comes with software that you can use to monitor your drive or clone and backup 3 year warranty A must have for any computer, using mechanical drives now for anything less than mass storage is something i could not go back to. Definitely a step up from older SSDs, even those who use the sata3 6gb/s interface Reasonably priced Cons: None. Overall…
