Price History

from completed build AM5 upgrade for the future
Kept it from my old builds, I can't be bothered to keep reinstalling windows so it stayed with me. I bought it in 2019 September and had zero issues with it since, so can`t be anything else than 5 stars.
from completed build Sleek Shadow
Great ssd decent speed especially as a OS drive. and for the price you can't go wrong with this.
from completed build Old Parts New Case
Good drive, but SATA is starting to show its weakness. No issues after 4 years of moderate use though.
from completed build Third PC I built
Great SSD, I'm using it for 6 years now and still going strong with 95% health left.
from completed build Moderate gaming build
Fast ssd storage. Nothing more to say.
from completed build My Ryzen 7 2700x Gaming and streaming Build (Completed 2020)
It's an SSD with good quality nand flash chips, that said it does not have on board DRAM and isn't the fastest. If you got an old system without NVMe support this is alright else avoid it and get an NVMe.
from completed build Pandemic Machine
No complaints - solid and reliable. I ended up adding a 1TB M.2 (also WD Blue) just for applications and games as I ran into storage constraints after awhile.
from completed build Plex Server
I had this as a spare already so saved ~$40 on a new SDD but just using the one I have
from completed build The Anonanonizer
I mean, it works, a bit slow though, but everyone already knows that.
