    WD Blue With Free Acronis True Image Version For Western Digital Blue SSD's...
    Western Digital was the number 1 Hard Drive to buy. Today I'm not sure where they're at but I needed a few M.2 SSDs & since they came with a free Version of Acronis, why would I buy something different.Acronis is easy to use, but for those who are 2nd guessing it, I'll post some Step-By-Step Instructions.1: You'll have to have your Western Digital Blue Drive, (In my case, an M.2 SATA Solid State Drive.) & have it connected to your PC. If it's a Laptop, of course, you'll have to have it connected to an External Drive Enclosure...2: Install the Free Version of Acronis True Image for Western Digital Blue.3: As shown in the 1st picture, once on the main screen, look for ''Disc Clone''.4: Click on Disc Clone, then in the next window, choose ''Automatic'' & whether you want to copy the entire Storage Drive, or if you just want to copy the Operating System. (So far I've made 2 copies of my 1st Dell Inspiron 13-7378. One of the complete SSD & the 2nd one is just of the Operating System.5: Either Click on ''Shut Down PC when finished, or leave the box unchecked. At any rate, you'll need to shut down the PC so you can disconnect your Cloned Drive, Plus the program will tell you if the Disc Clone was a success..6: If you know how to swap out your SSDs, then you can test it.Since I have 4 Dell Inspiron 13-7378 Laptops, I'm Cloning extra copies of my Windows 10 Pro Laptop..It took about 1/2 hour to clone a 256gb drive with 142gb of data on it. I'm actually using one of my Cloned M.2 Drives now...I hope I was able to explain the operation well enough for you to do your own Disc Clone...

    I can't stress enough how much I love this product. It has not only boosted my productivity but also enhanced my gaming experience. The 2TB storage capacity is a blessing, allowing me to store a vast library of files without worrying about running out of space.

    If you're looking for a way to boost your computer's performance, look no further than the Western Digital 2TB WD Blue 3D NAND Internal PC SSD. This solid state drive (SSD) is a game-changer when it comes to speed and storage capacity.

    First of all, installation is a breeze. The M.2 2280 form factor means it's small enough to fit into a variety of devices, including laptops and desktops. Once you've got it installed, you'll immediately notice the difference in speed. Boot-up times are lightning-fast, and programs load almost instantly. Plus, with 2TB of storage capacity, you'll have plenty of space for all your files and media.

    One of the best things about this SSD is that it uses 3D NAND technology, which allows for faster read and write speeds than traditional SSDs. It also has a longer lifespan than many other drives, thanks to its durability and reliability. So not only will you get a performance boost, but you'll also be investing in a drive that will last for years to come.

    Overall, I highly recommend the Western Digital 2TB WD Blue 3D NAND Internal PC SSD to anyone looking to upgrade their computer's performance. It's a great investment that will pay off in terms of speed, storage, and durability. So go ahead and make the switch - you won't regret it!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2018
    Style: Old GenerationCapacity: 250GBVerified Purchase
    This is a great little M.2 for the price. I installed the 250GB in my mid-range gaming laptop and am very happy with the performance so far. Boots up in seconds and overall my games run much smoother. If you are upgrading from a HDD, prepare to be blown away by the speed of these little dudes! For the average and even above average user, the SATA M.2 offer more than enough speed and performance. I personally didn't need a high end M.2 for my laptop, as it's not my main device. What's great about M.2 is you can keep your current hard drive and boot the OS and your favorite games from the M.2, keeping the old hard drive just for regular storage.

    Although these are faster than traditional hard drives, don't expect performance equivalent to a higher end NVME M.2, which run easily ~$40 more for the same amount of storage. If you're looking at building a high end gaming PC, don't skimp out on the M.2 and buy a NVME, not a SATA. There's a noticeable difference between the two and it's definitely worth the cost if you've already splurged on other components. Just make sure your board is compatible before you buy.

    I've seen a few reviewers complaining about there not being mounting hardware included. As with most M.2 drives, it does not come with the standoff or the screw. Those will usually be included with your motherboard or you will need to order. Be careful the screw fits properly and is not too long or you could damage the other side of your board. It HAS to have a standoff (the little riser) or it will not install properly!

    Overall I'm very pleased with this SSD, especially for the low price.

    TLDR;
    -Noticeably slower than higher end (NVME) M.2, but still fast enough for most users unless building a very high end gaming rig.
    -If you don't have mounting hardware, purchase some as it is not included.
    -Check your owner's manual of your motherboard or your laptop to make sure your computer is compatible with M.2 if you're unsure. Not all of them have slots for it.

    So, this junk laptop came with a standard "Hard Drive" which was massively slow, bottlenecked the entire system. It was like I was back in the 1990's the tech was so bad.
    Finally, found out it had an SSD slot in it, but this particular model could only apparently take "Standard" M.2 SSD's of this type, NOT NVME's... per the Manual for my laptop as found on HP's website.

    Was going to get a Samsung one, but would have had to wait, and it cost a little more, and this was a cheap laptop for backup only, so, didn't need to bother, a WD should be good enough.
    Anyway, put it in, and it works AMAZING... The speed is light and day. So fast that I don't even know that I would notice the difference on this laptop between it and an NVME.

    I mean seriously, it's like at least 30 TIMES faster than the Hard Drive...
    Anyway, it works great, updated to the latest Windows 10, Windows Update had most of the drivers already, through the "optional updates" also. Think I only needed to go into Device Manager and manually update the Graphics card. I then installed the Intel Drive Assistant, and it found two more that need updating apparently, graphics card and wireless card. Seems all good...

    Happy to finally have the laptop how it should have been in the first place, at least in basic functioning. One flaw with these also is the keys not being backlit... Anyway, backup, so I don't care.

    Ya casi no hay ssd m.2 SATA por lo que comprarla por éste medio fue lo ideal, el producto cumple con lo que promete y me permitió actualizar una laptop en aumento de capacidad
