Product Features

Superior performance for high­end computing

For high-end computing
applications like gaming, HD media
playback, or creative software,
WD Blue solid state drives have
the speed you need for the
performance you want. Tiered
caching technology utilizing
SLC (single-level cell) and TLC
flash technology enables
sequential read speeds of up to
545MB/s and sequential write
speeds of up to 525MB/s, allowing
for fast system boot up, quick
application response, and rapid
transfer speeds.

Leading-edge reliability

With no moving parts, a solid state
drive is designed to help protect
against data loss if a drive is
accidentally bumped or dropped.
And with 1.75M hours MTTF (mean
time to failure) and an endurance
rating of up to 400 TBW (terabytes
written), WD Blue SSDs can help
protect data for years to come.
WD Blue solid state drives also
use several leading error­correction technologies to help
protect against data loss and
provide lasting reliability.

Maximized multitasking

WD Blue solid state drives are
optimized for multitasking and can
easily run several resource-heavy
applications simultaneously. Run
a background virus scan while
watching a 4K video and checking
your email.

Every WD Blue SSD goes through
extensive compatibility and
reliability testing to ensure it meets
the highest standards of the WD

WD Functional Integrity Testing
Labs (FIT Labs), every WD Blue SSD
is verified for compatibility with a
wide range of desktop and laptop
computers.

Free WD SSD Dashboard

The downloadable WD SSD
Dashboard provides a suite of tools
so you’re always able to check on
the health of your solid state drive.
Available for free, this WD SSD
Dashboard helps you track things
like disk model, firmware version,
S.M.A.R.T. attributes, or simply find
out how much space you have left
on your WD Blue SSD.

3-year limited warranty

3-year limited warranty, so you can
be confident of your storage when
you upgrade or replace any of your
drives.
