Review: REVIEW: WD Blue SSD, SA510, 2TB 2.5", SATA, Read speeds up to 560 MB/s, Incl. Acronis True Image - Product arrived timeously and clearly good quality befitting the Western Digital brand image/promise. Once installed it works well, as expected. Install/usage instructions to install/use, etc. are not that great, got to say, and can be described as reasonably acceptable. No doubt at all that WD could/should have made the process a whole lot easier .... disappointing. As WD and SanDisk are now clearly part of the same group and it therefore needs to be clearly explained (PLEASE NOTE, WD!) that SanDisk is now the lead brand / product and that, for instance, management of WD products seem to clearly be via the use of SanDisk software, etc. Thus, a whole lot of "greyness" pervades around the implications of both these brand names existing within the same company. I would imagine that non-techie / newbies to SSD installation to replace their HDD's would find this process unnecessarily difficult. One has to ask the question why the greyness around this modern, popular SSD usage, etc. to replace one's older technology HDD's? Weird ... Deserved criticisms aside, as mentioned, the WD SSD is good value and, once properly installed, works well. Newbies can trust the delivery of this WD SSD but will be a little challenged in finalising the installation/usage/management process. As a new, working SSD therefore, once properly installed, I can recommend the quality, speed and expected reliability expected from the WD brand name/promise. Make sure, however, that you go through the frustrating, clunky process of registering the disk, otherwise any possible future failures will not be honoured. Review: It just works - Fine for playing my games off of it even though its not the fastest SDD. Had no trouble attaching it to my PC and it fits inside with no issues. ## Features - Upgrade your creativity with a performance boost that delivers read speeds up to 560MB/s (500GB and 1TB models) - Give your PC new life with capacities of up to 1TB and high endurance, plus low power draw for more laptop life between charges and reduced vibrations compared to HDDs - Clone your computer’s entire hard drive to your WD Blue SA510 drive with the included Acronis True Image for Western Digital transfer and backup software featuring cyber protection - Work with confidence as the downloadable Western Digital SSD Dashboard helps you monitor your drive’s health, temperature, available space, and more - The WD Blue SA510 SATA SSD comes in 2.5" and M.2 form factors for increased compatibility, fitting right into many current PC slots as well as those of many older machines ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09ZYPTXS4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 19,071 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 111 in Internal Solid State Drives | | Box Contents | WD Blue SA510 500GB SATA 2.5" SSD with up to 560MB/s read speed | | Brand Name | Western Digital | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 500 | | Color | Blue | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (11,543) | | Digital Storage Capacity | 500 GB | | Enclosure Material | Polycarbonate | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | eSATA | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hard-Drive Size | 5E+2 GB | | Hardware Connectivity | Solid State Drive | | Hardware Platform | SATA | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 20L x 100W x 120Th millimetres | | Item Weight | 0.08 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Western Digital | | Manufacturer Part Number | WDS500G3B0A | | Media Speed | 560.0 | | Model Name | SA510 SATA SSD | | Model Number | WDS500G3B0A | | Network Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Portable | | Product Warranty | 5 year | | Read Speed | 560 Megabytes Per Second | | Specific Uses For Product | Personal, Business, Multimedia | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Western Digital - **Colour:** Blue - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Digital storage capacity:** 500 GB - **Hard disk description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard disk form factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** eSATA - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Portable ## Images ![Western Digital WD Blue WDS500G2B0A 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA Internal Solid State Drive - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71s1mOypsUL.jpg) ![Western Digital WD Blue WDS500G2B0A 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA Internal Solid State Drive - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41lW0M+44LL.jpg) ![Western Digital WD Blue WDS500G2B0A 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA Internal Solid State Drive - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dMVP9DgdL.jpg) ![Western Digital WD Blue WDS500G2B0A 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA Internal Solid State Drive - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81a5CE6LoKL.jpg) ![Western Digital WD Blue WDS500G2B0A 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA Internal Solid State Drive - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MhEj5SXQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hello, is this compatible with the Asus vivobook X510UA?** A: Hello, check manufacturer website for support upgrade information, regarding WD blue M.2 install. **Q: Is this item compatible with acer nitro an515-42?** A: No. In your machine there are no M.2 slots. **Q: How long is the manufacturers warranty?** A: The term of your limited warranty is for 5 years in Europe.
