The editors liked
Competitive pricing
Solid performance
Strong 2MB sequential read
Known quantity based off of SanDisk X400 with some tweaks
Excellent mainstream performance
Software suite included
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
Competitive pricing at launch
The editors didn't like
1TB storage maximum
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

Performance hovers (mostly) between lower-cost budget drives and pricier Samsung SSD 850 EVO, Competitive pricing at launch,
Lagging sequential-write performance, Capacity tops out at 1TB, No bundled drive-cloning/migration software
WD's first SSD since its acquisition of SanDisk nicely threads the performance-and-price needle. This is a solid first showing that should satisfy most consumers who aren't obsessed with benchmarks and maximum possible speed...
The SSD market just got a lot more interesting but at the same time it may have lost one of its periphery players in SanDisk. On one hand this review is tinged with a bit of sadness since we’ve reviewed plenty of SanDisk drives and for the most part they...
WD Blue SSD 1TB Review – Western Digital (WD) is well-known for their storage solutions including the traditional hard disk drives. The one resides in my computer at the moment, the WD Black 7200RPM, has a humongous 6TB of space and I can never seem to fi...

You can consider yourself lucky if you purchased an SSD last year. Since then not a lot has happened when it comes to the performance, while the prices have gone up. However, using a hard drive as boot disk is not necessary at all - there are more than en...
Abstract: Solid-state storage is standard-issue for storing data in tablets and smartphones, where it's relied upon for its tiny size and rugged nature. Those same virtues can be handy in desktop PCs and especially laptops too, but it's the speed of an SSD (solid-s...
Exemplary results in some benchmarks, Reasonably well priced for 500GB, 3-year warranty, Huge TBW rating, Neutral, - Inconsistent results
Sequential reads are lacking somewhat
In terms of reviewing an SSD, nothing speaks more than the benchmarks. They don't need to look particularly pretty or be incredibly lightweight, they merely need to perform.Our results show some unbelievably strong numbers in PCMark 8 and ATTO but random...
Solid performance, Rated to endure plenty of use, Good warranty
Doesn't outrun its competitors, No outstanding features
The solid state market is very competitive right now, which has led to a plethora of choice. Western Digital's first mid-range SSD is competent, but it also doesn't stand out from the pack.We think the WD Blue's price needs to dip lower before it's the ob...
