I believe so (according to their website), but you should avoid buying any WD Green storage options in the first place. They have notoriously slow sequential write speeds. I recently purchased a new Samsung 970 Evo drive, which is 10 times faster than this Green SSD.

I planned to clone my hard drive after purchasing the 1T unit, so I went to Western Digital. com, then selected "clone drive" in the SSD manager app. I received an error message stating that the software was out of date when I did so. to go to the provided website and click on the link WD was advertising Acronis software for $40 at the time I did. After paying $110 for the drive, my heart sank, and I felt cheated. Is it possible that I will be entitled to a refund? I thought a $110 SSD would get me some free cloning software? Everything seems to be charged in the computer/electronics world. But I have a strong feeling that I have been duped. I was never told that I needed to purchase cloneware. It was explained to me that it was completely free.
MBps transfer rates are frequently in the single digits. I used a variety of laptops, including some that were extremely fast. We purchased a different brand SSD that consistently delivered over 400 MBps for the same USB C external drive enclosure (rated at 10 GBps). Although the read speed is adequate (up to just over 1 GBps), the write speed is insufficient for the money paid; as a backup drive, I require fast and consistent write speed. I'm not getting the value I deserve, or the quality is inconsistent.
This is my first SSD, and I've had good luck with WD hard drives in the past. In a year or two, I'll make an effort to remember to update this. br>NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED. In January 2020, the drive began to register errors, indicating that it had been in use for about six months. It was not a good investment. After reading several reviews, I decided to replace it with a WD Blue SSD (with a smaller capacity). So let's see what happens.
It's not something you should buy. I attempted to replace my old spin disk several times. The software from the website, on the other hand, was unable to locate my new SSD drive. I decided to order the Samsung SSD after numerous attempts and failures. That's fantastic. The software completed all tasks via the external USB cable in three clicks, without leaving the Windows environment. Amazing. When I was finished, I installed the new drive, and the computer booted up fine. Samsung has done a fantastic job.
To replace the one in my wife's desktop computer, I bought a Western Digital (WD) 1 TB drive. All of the files and programs were easily copied over thanks to the SSD (Solid State Device) and the download of an imaging program from the WD website. Since then, the new drive has performed admirably, loading programs much faster than the old one. It was, in my opinion, well worth the money. Because the new drive had more space than the old drive, I needed to find a free web program that would increase the partition size of the new drive in order to take advantage of the extra space.
It was a lot easier to set up and get online than I had anticipated. It took about 30 minutes to transfer the operating system to the SSD, and I was back online after a reboot. Although a 240GB to 512GB SSD is recommended for this, some programs will require or require installation on the c: drive. The only thing I lost was the "downloads" file folder. It's no longer there. It didn't have much on it, but it was backed up on an external drive, and I'm waiting for the traditional hard drives to be replaced with solid state drives. For larger hard drives, cost and dependability are the most important considerations. I was blown away.
The SSD began to fail to backup after a year of service. After many exchanges of information and nearly a week, I contacted WD support. They made the decision to initiate a Return Material Authorization (RMA). Their "Advanced Replacement" process was completed by me. After that, the replacement arrived in about 9 days. That drive had a problem as well, so I contacted WD support once more. After days of waiting, I was able to configure the FIRST replacement drive with the help of third-party software after they said they would ship another replacement drive. I also attempted to return the faulty drive. I received it via UPS because that's how I got it. br>br>UPS informed me that the shipping label I had received was not valid. br>br>I contacted WD Support once more and spoke with a representative who seemed unable to understand the situation. after THREE phone calls They agreed to send you a shipping label "within the next day or two. " br>br>I've wasted a lot of time and been frustrated by a WD support process that hasn't worked out. br>br>I thought some of your customers might be interested to know that in the event that their new SSD has a problem. Getting anything done with WD support is a time-consuming and, for the most part, frustrating process.
I bought a Dell Inspiron laptop with an I3 processor as a backup a few years ago. The PC had a problem with boot times--it took a long time to get up and running. 35 minutes is a long time in my opinion. In task manager, I was unable to correct this. I tried replacing the standard 1TB hard drive with a WD Green 1TB hard drive and found that boot time was significantly reduced. The computer responds quickly and sharply. br>br>It took 2 minutes to install. 3 hrs. I cloned the HD with Acronis. The source disk preparation took an extremely long time. Writing to the WD SSD target will take about 30 minutes. The drives were swapped in 15 minutes. During the first ten minutes of that 15-minute period, I was looking for a screw that had fallen out, hit the table, and bounced into an unknown dimension. br>br>The SSD booted up without a hitch and in under a minute. In comparison to the original drive, the laptop has performed flawlessly and blazingly fast. br>br>I read the reviews on Blue VS Green ssd drives. I probably wouldn't have bought the Green if I was going to use this laptop for intensive, high-i/o work. But this laptop wouldn't be Dell if it didn't have an I3 processor. The green is thought to have a lifespan of up to 1. 0 million hours is less than 115 years. It would take just over 200 years for the blue to fade. In the year 2135, I might be sorry. This is the third laptop in which the original hard drive has been replaced by an SSD. There has been one setback for me. Within a few hours of receiving the replacement drive, it was up and running. br>br>The bottom line is that this SSD made this laptop usable.
