Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm, Up to 560 MB/s - WDS100T3B0A

I recently upgraded my PC with the Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SSD, and the performance boost has been incredible. Boot times are nearly instant, programs launch in seconds, and overall system responsiveness has dramatically improved, it’s a huge upgrade from any traditional hard drive.Installation was simple thanks to its 2.5"/7mm form factor, very small, fits anywhere inside the PC.Whether you're upgrading an older machine or adding fast storage to your setup, this SSD is a fantastic value. Highly recommend!

Worked well, Is fast and easy to install. Used with Ubuntu Linux with no issue.

Upgrading to the Western Digital 1TB SSD, along with doubling my RAM, has truly breathed new life into my old VR system. What once felt sluggish is now snappy and smooth—enough to keep the immersive experiences running strong for a few more years until I can afford a full replacement. It's amazing what a bit of tech tinkering can do!

I purchased this Western Digital Blue SSD (WD SSD) to replace a 500GB Seagate hard disk drive in my Dell Latitude 3460 laptop running Windows 10. The motivation was to improve I/O disk storage performance. Installation was a snap. The included (via download) Acronis disk duplicator software was helpful, but not flawless. The WD SSD dramatically improved computer performance, which was highly desirable. While I wasn't noticing any specific errors accessing my data on the SSD, I did see that the Western Digital SSD monitoring software stopped working after about one year and then the Dell Support Assist software also stopped working. I didn't think anything of it and just kept on using my laptop as usual.Sadly, when I opened my laptop on the morning of May 27th, 2025, the BIOS screen displayed with an error reporting no hard disk drive found. I was not able to recover from this error using typical troubleshooting techniques including reseating the SATA cable at both ends, etc. Fortunately, I still had my old Seagate disk drive, which had been removed 30 months earlier and not touched since, and reinstalled it. My laptop started right up with the hard disk and so began the ordeal of 30 months' worth of Windows and other software updates. Fortunately, I had been using Windows File History to back up my data and was able to recover my data and avoid any noteworthy data loss.Using the Sabrent external hard drive enclosure I originally purchased to facilitate the hard disk to SSD migration, I attempted to access the WD SSD by connecting it to a USB port through the Sabrent device. The SSD was not detected by my laptop and therefore no longer accessible.I'm not sure I will purchase another SSD and try this migration again. While I was able to avoid data loss, the effort to recover from the mess amounted to an enormous inconvenience. I have read in articles and seen on YouTube good things about Crucial SSD so if I try this again, that would be the next brand I try. I am not likely to purchase another Western Digital product.My suggestion is to avoid this specific product and, if you do decide to go the SSD route, make sure you have a daily backup strategy in place to minimize the risk of data loss. I do not recommend Windows File History though. It did ultimately save my data, but it was not flawless and I had to manually restore my files little-by-little because the Windows File History restore facility would not restore my files to a different hard drive. Now, I am using Free File Sync with a custom script to back up my data to an NAS.Thank you for reading my remarks.

Arrived on time and works as it should.

I use the Wavlink HD cloning device and by using the 2tb SSD it cuts my backups from 5 1/2 hours to 1 1/2 hour.

Installed this in a budget build and… it works. That’s honestly the best compliment I can give it. It’s not flashy, it doesn’t light up like a UFO, and it’s not going to shatter any speed records. But it boots fast, loads stuff quickly, and hasn’t made a single fuss since day one.Cloned my old drive to it, popped it in, and it just ran like it was always meant to be there. Windows boots in seconds, games load in a reasonable time, and it doesn’t overheat or act weird under pressure.It’s SATA, not NVMe, so yeah—it’s not blazing fast—but it’s fast enough that I don’t miss spinning drives and their dramatic loading noises.Took off one star just because... well, it’s not exciting. But also, not every part of a build has to be exciting. Sometimes you just want a reliable little slab of storage that does its job and never texts you at 3AM.Would buy again for a secondary drive, or for someone who just wants things to work without needing a benchmark chart to prove it.

Fast shipper good product
