WESTERN DIGITAL SSD - WD Blue - 500GB - SATA - M.2 2280 - 3D NAND

A new dimension of storage
A WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD is ready for high-performance computing, with large capacity, improved reliability and blazing speed.

High capacity with improved reliability
A WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD uses 3D NAND technology not only because of the higher capacities (up to 2 TB1) than the previous generation WD Blue SSDs, but also because it reduces interference between cells, increasing reliability.

More energy efficient
A WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD offers greater reliability and consumes up to 25% less power than previous generations of WD Blue SSDs. And because of the lower power consumption, you can work longer before recharging your laptop.

Superior performance for high-end computing
For advanced computing applications such as gaming, HD media playback, or creative software, WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSDs are the place to be. 3D NAND technology helps to enable sequential read speeds of up to 560MB / s and sequential write speeds of up to 530MB / s, making system boot fast, applications responsive and data transferable.

Industry-leading reliability
An SSD has no moving parts, which means less data loss if a drive is accidentally bumped or dropped. And with 1.75 million hours to fail (MTTF), durability up to 500 TBW (terabytes written), and various error correction technologies, WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSDs can help protect data for years to come.

Wide Compatibility
With a certification from the WD Functional Integrity Testing Lab (FIT Lab), every WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD has been verified for compatibility with a wide variety of desktop computers and laptops. Each WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD undergoes rigorous compatibility and reliability testing to ensure it meets the high standards of the WD brand.
