Review on Blue NAND 500GB SSD WDS500G2B0A by Joseph Anderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good upgrade for older Win 7 machines

Bought 6 of these to upgrade old office PCs and milk them for another year or so. These are Dell Win 7 machines that now boot in 15-20 seconds versus 2-3 minutes before. Everything boots faster, and SSDs give the impression of being a much faster computer without a faster processor or memory. Within a reasonable. Programs that are already running do not need to be accelerated. But for the old ones who only have 4GB of RAM, this should also speed up the shuffling of data in RAM into the paging file's virtual RAM. I used Macrium Reflect to clone each of the drives with a USB3 quick swap external hard drive enclosure. CDs, in case anyone is interested.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Update availability
