Product Features

Superior performance for high-

end computing

For high-end computing

applications like gaming, HD media

playback, or creative software,

WD Blue solid state drives have

the speed you need for the

performance you want. Tiered

caching technology utilizing

SLC (single-level cell) and TLC

ﬂash technology enables

sequential read speeds of up to

545MB/s and sequential write

speeds of up to 525MB/s, allowing

for fast system boot up, quick

application response, and rapid

transfer speeds.

Leading-edge reliability

With no moving parts, a solid state

drive is designed to help protect

against data loss if a drive is

accidentally bumped or dropped.

And with 1.75M hours MTTF (mean

time to failure) and an endurance

rating of up to 400 TBW (terabytes

written), WD Blue SSDs can help

protect data for years to come.

WD Blue solid state drives also

use several leading error-

correction technologies to help

protect against data loss and

provide lasting reliability.

Maximized multitasking

WD Blue solid state drives are

optimized for multitasking and can

easily run several resource-heavy

applications simultaneously. Run

a background virus scan while

watching a 4K video and checking

your email.

Broad compatibility

Every WD Blue SSD goes through

extensive compatibility and

reliability testing to ensure it meets

the highest standards of the WD

brand. With a certiﬁcation from the

WD Functional Integrity Testing

Labs (FIT Labs), every WD Blue SSD

is veriﬁed for compatibility with a

wide range of desktop and laptop

computers.

Free WD SSD Dashboard

The downloadable WD SSD

Dashboard provides a suite of tools

so you’re always able to check on

the health of your solid state drive.

Available for free, this WD SSD

Dashboard helps you track things

like disk model, ﬁrmware version,

S.M.A.R.T. attributes, or simply ﬁnd

out how much space you have left

on your WD Blue SSD.

3-year limited warranty

Every WD Blue SSD comes with a

3-year limited warranty, so you can

be conﬁdent of your storage when

you upgrade or replace any of your

drives.

1 Backward compatible to SATA II and I.

2 Not all products may be available in all regions of the world.

3 As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating

environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second

(Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA speciﬁcation published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this speciﬁcation

sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.

4 Performance is based on the CrystalDiskMark benchmark using a 1000MB LBA range on Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H desktop with Intel Z77 chipset, Intel i7–3770 3.4GHz, 8M, Ivy Bridge, Windows 8 64-bit SP1 using

Intel iRST version 11.7.0.1013, secondary drive, C-state off. Performance may vary based on host device. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes. IOPS = input/output operations per second.

5 TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.

6 Measured using the MobileMark™ 2012 benchmark with DIPM (Device Initiated Power Management) enabled.

7 MTTF = Mean Time To Failure based on internal testing using Telcordia stress part testing.
