Great Solid State Drive
on November 1, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m using this with a SATA to USB adapter and am really impressed with the transfer speed. Easy to use and portable. Western Digital makes amazing drives.

SA510 Flawed product design
on October 2, 2023
Posted by: afjara
Drive failed within 5 months of use and only 167 GB written to NAND. Unit is unrecognizable by Windows. Disk Management Tool failed to show the drive. Western Digital Dashboard freezes when trying to retrieve drive data.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Quality & Unreliable Internal SATA SSD
on October 1, 2023
Posted by: Kartik
Recently, I had bought a new WD Blue 1 TB SATA SSD for my laptop Dell Inspiron 5570. From the 1s day only, I was getting frequent system hang up and then the Blue screen of death error( BSOD error). After that instead of restarting normally, it loaded to a white screen which showed hard drive not installed. This problem continued even after the replacement by the reseller, from where I had bought the drive.
Though Support people were helpful but they offered another replacement and declined my request for a refund, stating it isn't their company policy. As my trust on WD Blue SATA SSD had been completely eroded, so had to bear the loss for selling the drive to the reseller.
That's when I decided to switch to some other company for a new SSD which is working better.
Bottom line - Don't buy WD Blue SATA SSD. They are quite unreliable. Or be extremely careful when doing so.

WB Blue SATA SSD is of very Poor Quality
on October 1, 2023
Posted by: Kartik
Recently, I had installed a new WD Blue 1 TB SATA SSD in my laptop. From the same day only, I was getting frequent system hang up and the Blue screen of death(BSOD) issues. Then instead of restarting normally, it loaded to a white screen which tells hard drive not installed. This type of error & issues continued even after the replacement by the reseller from where I had bought the SSD.
Though the support people were friendly in their talks but no solution was given other than seeking another replacement. I wanted a refund as my trust on WB Blue SSD had been completely eroded. But WD declined saying that's not company's policy. So, I had to bear the loss for reselling the drive to the reseller.
That's when I decided to switch to other company for better reliability and performance as WD Blue SATA SSD failed in both in my case, as I didn't wanted to take any further risks.
