The editors liked
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
The editors didn't like
The drive is expensive and doesn't justify the added cost. It has a short warranty
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...

Excellent mainstream performance, Software suite included
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...

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...

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...

The WD Blue SSD 1TB offers consistent speeds, but comes in at a a hefty £295 price tag. The drive is overshadowed by its competitors, but nevertheless provides PC builders with more SSD alternatives....
