The editors liked
Competitive pricing

Strong 2MB sequential read
Known quantity based off of SanDisk X400 with some tweaks

The WD Blue SSD is faster than any regular hard drive and you can write a ton of data to it before it wears out
Performance hovers (mostly) between lower-cost budget drives and pricier Samsung SSD 850 EVO

The editors didn't like

Drive migration software is not included
Poor performance in mixed workloads
Priced higher than similar performance drives
Short 3-year warranty compared to other drives
High price
Aging software toolbox
The drive is expensive and doesn't justify the added cost. It has a short warranty
The WD Blue SSD is a solid (no pun intended) drive for the money. Blue is an appropriate color here, as it reminds me of a blue-collar worker. It does its work and gets the job done without fuss. Hard drives and SSDs aren't particularly exciting, but you...

The WD Blue is the first full-fledged SSD produced by WD. Since the acquisition of SanDisk, it was only time till an SSD product was released under their brand. Overall, it is a good performer and one of the best performing planar TLC based options out. I...
The WD Blue 1TB SSD is the flagship drive of the WD Blue series and is yet another planar TLC NAND powered drive aimed at the mainstream market. At the very highest level, this is basically the SanDisk X400 drive that came out earlier this year with re-t...

High price, Aging software toolbox
The Western Digital Blue shows us that old storage companies have a hard time evolving from their old ways. The Blue 1TB SSD delivers increased performance over many mainstream SSDs, but it still doesn't match every virtue of the 850 EVO. Priced at $2...
