Overview

Ready for your high performance computing needs, a WD Blue™ SATA SSD offers high capacity, enhanced reliability, and blazing speed.Ready for your high performance computing needs, a WD Blue™ SATA SSD offers high capacity, enhanced reliability, and blazing speed.

High capacity with enhanced reliability

A WD Blue SATA SSD uses 3D NAND technology not only for higher capacities (up to 4TB1) than the previous generation WD Blue SATA SSDs, but also to help reduce cell-to-cell interference for enhanced reliability. 

Superior performance for high-end computing

For a variety of computing applications like gaming, HD media playback, or creative software, look to WD Blue SATA SSDs. Western Digital™ 3D NAND technology helps enable sequential read speeds up to 560MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 530MB/s for fast system boot-ups, quick application responses, and rapid transfer speeds.2

Leading-edge reliability

An SSD is designed with no moving parts to help protect against data loss if it is accidentally bumped or dropped. And with 1.75M hours MTTF (mean time to failure),3 up to 600 TBW (terabytes written),4 and several error correction technologies, WD Blue SATA SSDs can help guard data for years to come. 

Broad compatibility

With a certification from the WD Functional Integrity Testing Lab (F.I.T. Lab™), every WD Blue SATA SSD is verified for compatibility with a wide range of desktop and laptop computers. Every WD Blue SATA SSD goes through extensive compatibility and reliability testing to ensure it meets the high standards of the WD Brand.

Downloadable WD SSD Dashboard and Acronis software

Monitor your drive’s available capacity, operating temperatures, SMART attributes and more with the WD SSD Dashboard. Acronis® True Image™ WD Edition software, available as a free download, can clone drives and backup your operating system, applications, settings and all of your data.

Every WD Blue SATA SSD comes with a 5-year limited warranty,5 so you can be confident of your storage when you upgrade or replace any of your drives.

1 As used for storage capacity, one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment.
2 As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second.
3 MTTF = Mean Time To Failure based on internal testing using Telcordia stress part testing.
4 TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.

So far so good , cheap SSD good for budget builders

Simon

March 2021

Cant Recommend the WD range of drives any more value for money components. Read/Write speed is brilliant for gaming. Super fast and as a boot device 5 seconds from turning on to logging in.

I've paid more and bought faster, but when it comes to speed for your money I find it difficult to believe that this can be beaten. Super performance and excellent value from a top brand. I'm very happy.

A Cartwright

May 2020

My first switch to an M. 2 drive for my OS and what a difference it makes, read write speeds are very fast and easily a benefit to any build, one of many purchases from CCL.

Adam

Its a small ssd, its quick, what more can I say

Stephen

September 2019

Great Piece of kit and very easy to set up

Timofey

August 2019

All in all a fine SATA M2 SSD. The low score is primarily because Western Digital sell an even faster NVME SSD for around the same price as this, so getting that would be an even better idea. But, if for some reason you must have strictly a SATA M2 SSD, you can't go wrong with this.

Mr Jason Voorhees

August 2019

perfect speed for games

Adam

July 2019

Good works

Evan

May 2019

Fantastic product! Sped up my laptop like nothing else could, also great value for money since I could not find a cheaper alternative for the same performance anywhere! Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to speed up their system.

Very good quality

Martin

Use this as my only storage and it delivers very fast boot times (although I can only compare it to my ageing work PC). Excellent value for money and would strongly recommend it. And great service and prices from CCL.
