Reliable product, easy to install
Excellent product. Working great in my HP Desktop Computer. Very easy to install. WD software downloaded from their website did not work for backing up old content, prior to replacing original SSD. I downloaded free 3rd party software to backup my 120GB original SSD so that I could replace it with this excellent 512GB SSD. After that installation of new 512GB SSD was straight forward.

This product is AWESOME!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t normally write reviews, but this WD SSD has worked miracles for my 2017 Dell Inspiron 17 7000 2-in-1 laptop. My original SSD had been slowing down for a while, and after checking, I realized my OS (C:) drive was almost full and really struggling. I cloned my OS drive onto this new WD SSD, and the difference is unbelievable — it’s incredibly fast now and runs smoothly with zero lag. Highly recommend this SSD to anyone looking to give new life to an older laptop!

in 3 different computers over 1 year and now in a 2015 27" apple mac with dual boot SOLID
PRICING NOTE: I purchased mine for well under $100 on amazon warehouse and to me, that was about the MAX you should ever pay for a 1tb SSD at the time and I streamline this as true for NVME drives that have now replaced SSD 2.5". Look for the specs of a drive and max speeds that are consistent, before parting with money and of course, research lifespan on average because this is the most important part of your computer - if this fails, you lose all your work.... if the rest of the machine fails, not a problem, you can put this drive in an external box and link it to another computer to rescue your work and lifetime documents and photos and videos etc. within minutes. as far as 2.5" SSD GO ... Western Digital RED and "Crucial MX SERIES" are by far the best, followed by the SANDISK RANGE. For anyone upgrading a really old computer and does not need super duper speed, teamgroup and Silicon power make SOLID drives that seem to work forever. I have hundreds of customers and people I have helped and several years have passed with the above brands and ZERO feedback of failures. I had this originally in a gaming laptop for video work for about 4 months, then I put it in another laptop for a few months whilst I was deciding whether to keep the 2nd laptop... for the last 4 months or so, it has been in my 27" retina 4k Apple Mac late 2015 computer (with an additional 3.5" to 2.5" standard PC bracket cradle) and I set this SSD up in to 2 partitions, so I just power on the mac and hold the ALT key on my keyboard (left of space) and then I get an option to boot the WINDOWS 10 partition or the MAC OS partition - instead of using Macs "bootcamp" I find my way of setting things up a lot FASTER in daily operations and part of that speed is this excellent old Western Digital RED 2.5" SSD.

Perfect for Ubiquiti Cloud Key+
Installed this in my Ubiquiti Cloud Key+ after the original 5400rpm hard drive that shipped with it failed after a year. No tools needed, just unclip the old disk, insert this one and power on with PoE. Can confirm this is fully compatible with CK+. It automatically detected, formats the drive and starts using it for Unifi Protect camera storage. Less than 10 mins downtime. Hopefully the SSD will last longer than the OEM HDD, which lasted about 18 months with 4 cameras before getting bad sectors and fragging itself.
