*reliable* western digital solid state hard drives are 3 to 4 times faster than conventional sata mechanical drives. They load the operating systems and access data much faster than mechanical sata hard drives. These are a must in today’s world. If you have the opportunity to upgrade your pc or build a new one, the recommended use is to load the operating system to a nice solid state western digital and keep a traditional mechanical sata drive as a storage drive (these are so cheap these days). This is a tried and true method that works well. Just using this ssd drive alone with an operating system and for storage works well too if you don’t have the opportunity to do both drives in the same pc. 5′ drive works well for laptops and desktop pc’s*.
Was easier to install and put online than i had originally thought. Took about 30minutes to transfer os to ssd and was online after the reboot. Although it is recommended to use 240gb to 512gb ssd for this, there are some programs that will need to be or must be installed on the c:\ drive. Only loss was by ‘downloads’ file folder. Not much on it but was backed up on an external drive. Am awaiting the conventional hd’s replacement with ssds. Expense and dependability being main issues for the larger hard drives.

A couple years ago i bought a dell inspiron laptop (i3) processor with the intention of using it as a spare. The pc suffered from lousy boot times-as much as 35 minutes. I couldn’t fix that in task manager. I tried replacing the standard 1tb hd with a wd green 1tb hard drive. The computer has fast snappy response. I used acronis to clone the hd. It spent a very long time preparing the source disk. Maybe 30 minutes writing to the wd ssd target. It took 15 minutes to swap the drives. 10 of that 15 minutes was looking for a screw that fell out, hit the table and bounced into some unknown dimension. Initial boot up with the ssd was without problem and took less than a minute. The laptop has performed flawlessly and blazingly fast compared to the original drive.
I bought this 1tb wd green ssd to replace a very old hdd on my dinosaur windows 7 desktop. I used the free acronis download from wd clone the old system drive. Cloning and startup went flawlessly. Pro:lowest price per gb i could find anywhereus based, name-brand, industry-leading companyfast enough for my very old pcfree acronis download made installation easywin-7 boot time increased ten foldso quiet connot quite as fast as higher-priced mainstream drivesi spent hours of black friday research and stress to select this specific drive. I was torn between seagate and wd, as both are industry leaders and us based. I have lost seagate drives in the past, i’ve never lost a wd drive, so i went with wd. I went with wd green(slow) instead of wd blue (fast) because green is substantially less money, and, this old system can’t really go that fast. I’ve very happy with this purchase. I only regret not doing this long ago.
