I put this 1tb Ultra SSD into my Dell i7 desktop (after installing a suitable carrier), and it made a huge difference. Boot up time decreased by 75%, and basically every performance measurement was sped up considerably. This on top of my already fast 7200rpm HDD of the same capacity.
My older laptop is happy and much faster, the SSD replaces an HDD. The base speed of the computer is the same, but where the disk is part of the operation, it has gone from a few minutes to less than a second in worst case response times. Hooray. The WD Dashboard tool is not working on my machine at the moment. Before the upgrade Acronis was having problems, but I created a bootable USB on one of my other computers and ran Acronis to clone the SSD. I hope WD Dashboard will start working again soon.
Bought this drive to upgrade my OS drive with more space. So far, it is working great! Only had to reinstall one game.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Using a 1 TB drive as a Windows 10 C: drive on newer system board with a gen 12 intel CPU. It is extremely slow.
