💾 Western Digital Green 2.5-inch 120GB SATA3 Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS120G1G0A Review

I bought it to replace a dead disk in an ancient computer to control a CNC machine. It works stably, Windows 7 loads 4 times faster than before, the rest of the parameters do not bother me. I hope it works for a long time.

I installed 2 such disks (in RAID 1 mode) in the 1C server. For more than a year they have been working in 24x7x365 mode. There are no problems. Data upload/download speed is excellent. The lifetime has decreased by 1% and is now 99%.

out of 20 purchased 18 have been working for more than 5 years, everything suits. 2 died after a year and a half, they were exchanged for new ones at the dealership without any problems.

I paid with bonuses thanks + 300r discount on the first order. For 800 it's very good. Works great. In a laptop, I put a similar one only on 240GB. To the desktop 25sec. More than cool. I recommend. All the best)))

An entry-level computer for work tasks. Stump g5400 + mother on h310 from asus. This ssd was taken based on the price and reliability relative to it. He copes with his tasks. The system is flying. Cold . ,

I took a disk to replace the fallen death of the brave toshibe (khydydy) in the laptop. It turns out that my laptop can boot quickly and work awesomely fast.

I advise you to change HDD to SSD everywhere, especially on laptops. There is a benefit. Pros: After any HDD - Bullet, especially on laptops, a speed increase is felt. Its cons: Maybe I'm wrong, but the speed of copying small files on an SSD is slower than on an HDD. For example, 6000 files will be copied more slowly to the SSD than to the HDD.

I was just surprised, my (old PC on 775 socket) came to life by the speed of reading files and opening everything. WD is great as always. There are no bolts included, but it doesn't matter)))

This is my first SSD. I have nothing to compare. But I liked him. Although empty, it gave out some values, but with Winda they fell. Windu put it in GPT, loaded for one or two. I am attaching screenshots of an empty one, with Windows and for a change HHD Tosiba))

For people who, for one reason or another, do not want to install a new OS on the SSD and then reinstall all games and programs for a week, I advise cloning. Just make sure that the system is not polluted with viruses and is not overloaded with a million programs. For cloning, I used Paragon Migrate OS, 15 minutes and the system disk flew to the SSD. IMPORTANT: before cloning, create a volume yourself and format it, otherwise Paragon can be stupid and hang endlessly on cloning. After creating a

Addition: I received an order for the first time on October 16, then I sent it to the seller for verification, since the disk did not work correctly and received it only on March 11 and it does not work correctly again, it is not detected in the BIOS itself in Windows itself. In general, I don’t recommend ordering something on the market - support by month / gender answers, they refused to do a refund for the first time, right now I don’t know what wakes up, I’m still figuring it out.

I took it for a stationary PC, put it in a laptop. Now the car is a beast, given that there was an I5 stone, but it was terribly slow on the HDD

I purchased this model on 01/23/2022 along with the DEXP AT-DH02 sled for the Toshiba Satellite A300-214 laptop, which was already released in 2022 and which also had Windows Vista. Due to a malfunction, his native screw became such a brake that the operating system loaded as much as 10 minutes! And therefore, I put an SSD in place of the standard screw, and installed my native one in a sled and inserted the whole thing instead of an outdated CD drive. By the way, the plug from him came up like

The best slot plug in entry-level home PCs, IMHO. For a casual user, pushing an OS, Photoshop and 1-2 favorite toys onto it is an excellent solution for a general increase in computer performance (after all, in budget assemblies, all problems rest on the disk subsystem). I don’t really understand people who underestimate the rating of the device, comparing it with models of a class (and price) an order of magnitude higher, in my opinion, even if it is 2 times slower than its price, it fully…

I took 120GB under the name of the system disk, somewhere I read that the SSD does not serve as long as the HDD in terms of writing / erasing files. Therefore, I put the SSD only on the system, and the HDD that was in the laptop, using a special stray that is inserted instead of a CD-ROM, I use it for file storage. It is also very cool that WD has a free program for cloning the Acronis disk, thanks to which you do not have to reinstall the system again with all the resulting programs and…

Let's start with the fact that WD betrayed their "fans" and sold themselves for money. If earlier they made the g1g version on a high-quality and good controller, as well as on Silicon Motion memory chips, which gave out very good performance, now, in the g2g version, that is, the second version, they sold out and began to use the cheapest components that could be . And they learned it so badly that they didn’t even publish the recording speed of this disc on the official website, because it’s…

As if if you need to put the OS on a fast drive and increase the speed of your device, then this is quite a good option - it copes with this function, my 2022 laptop loads Windows 10 in 20 seconds. The manufacturer gives a long-term guarantee, of course, but I would not store personal, valuable files on this SSD without backup - after all, the price of ~ 1.5k does not inspire confidence))

VD ate SanDisk. Hence the release of a new direction of disks - SSD under the VD logo. The same technology, but also introduced their own innovations, which rather played not for the better. In tests, each time a different write-read speed. I like osizets, kingstons, plexors - there were no problems with them. There were problems with smartbay and this. Decide for yourself. I don't like this controller.
