Upgrade Your Computer with Western Digital WDS120G2G0B WD Green 120GB Solid State Drive - SATA - M.2 2280 Review

Great thing, really accelerated the laptop. True, I first bought an SSD with PCI-E, which is not supported by my laptop, in the end I had to take this one, it will be slower, still SATA-III. But even in this format it is better than a standard HDD.

I took it under the system. Windows loads quickly, in a few seconds. Browser and tabs open instantly. In programs, I did not check the speed of reading and writing.

Did not work in the ultra M.2 connector on the board. Changed to another. I advise you to take NVMe modules (they are faster and more reliable) - especially for laptops! (I left this module on the PC, for the laptop I took Kingston with NVMe - 3 times faster speed and recording than here).

I bought it for a laptop, the laptop opened up to the full with this ssd. There is nothing to add, I hope it will work for a long time. I rejoice at lower prices, even despite the growth of the dollar. In 2022, I bought a ssd (2.5") for 120 GB for 3500. And now you can buy m2 for 2 thousand.

Works out of the box. For operating systems and programs just right. The results are a crystal disk brand with installed OS and several programs.

microsize (thickness and length with the finger of an adult), the capacity in the top ten shows 111 gigabytes instead of the declared 120 gigabytes

Benefits from: The best performing m.2 ssd for the least amount of money (before the storage is full). Contains drawbacks: When the drive is full, the system slows down. For Windows, it's best to upgrade to a larger capacity drive.

This is my first SSD. Took it for my Asus GL552JX. Impressions are unforgettable. If before buying this product, the computer turned on for at least 2 minutes, then with this crumb - in 10-15 seconds. However, add a little more to the cost, and I could take the bar, the declared speed of which was at least close to the actual one. I am happy with the purchase, but if you try, you can find a better option. : on the screenshots, a comparison of this ssd with the built-in hdd

The simplest model M.2 SSD, there is not even a DRAM buffer. As a system partition for simple systems, it is ideal - compact and reliable, for slightly more demanding ones, you should already look at older models. Life tests of the WD Green line, although they do not promise record service life, are very even on the level. Very cold - stands next to a hot RX570 video card and heats up to 43 degrees. I took Kingston UV400 as a replacement to save space in the case - so that there are fewer…

I bought it on the market for a promotion, initially I took it for work so that I could work both at work and at home, in the same files, but what was my surprise when the product turned out to be a marriage, perhaps because of this there was a promotion for the product, Or maybe I just got married. But in general, I can’t be sure of buying an SSD from this company, and even more so to recommend someone for purchase, now there’s still hemorrhoids with the return of goods, even more fun.

after hhd heaven and earth, I don’t know how I used to live, I really thought about buying it, when I saw the difference in the system startup, with hhd the system started for about 5 minutes, this is for everything to fully load, all the icons so that Google Chrome works normally and not hangs white window, right now everything starts in 10 -15 seconds, in general, purely for the system, what you need

The speeds do not correspond to those declared, I am aware of the price of this product and extremely regret that I did not take the proven and more efficient SanDisk in the same price category and generally squinted at the next Samsung (the assembly was planned purely as a 2nd PC for streaming, I decided not to spend too much ), SanDisk did not take it simply because here the M.2 format, and there 2.5, wanting not to clog the case. I don’t recommend Krch for purchase if you have already used…

The disgusting ssd drive, having shoveled through the official forum, realized that he made a mistake by buying this drive, since the most popular topic there is low speed ssd. Who cares to read, people post screenshots, with much worse results than mine! For some time, they tried to solve the problem with firmware, but after the ates, the increase was ridiculous, as I understand it, the controller that was used in this disk was to blame. The speed of this drive, in most cases, is even lower…

As far as I was able to find out, this disk is the second revision of the model, the first revision is WDS120G1G0B. The difference between them is minimal, they say that in the second TLC 3D NAND, and in the first not 3D NAND. I don't know how true this is. My copy was made just two months ago. In tests, the disk noticeably loses to models with a buffer, but in practice this is imperceptible, especially in the case of switching from magnetic disks, because the performance is still an order of…

1. SPEEDS 1.1. Linear speed (like writing a large file to disk, such as a video or archive) Under the SLC cache with an empty disk, 2.5 gigabytes are allocated, within which it writes about 300 megabits / sec. Then it drops to 75 megabits / sec. Reading stable 500 megabits / sec. A 16.8 gigabyte file was copied to this ssd for about 3 minutes (2 minutes 48 seconds) And from this ssd to NVME 35 seconds. 1.2. A set of chaotic data (such as constantly saving something to a bunch of files, for…

simple and working ssd. inserted, ated and forgotten. Of course, the speeds fell strangely, but this is either related to the work of the slc cache or the wd with the firmware messed up. In normal operation, everything is fine and no suspensions and brakes were visible. loading the computer 8-10 seconds after the bios, launching programs is also nothing. I recommend the gap from conventional HDD drives is significant.

I bought a system for a new laptop, which was terribly slow due to a slow hard drive. The laptop seems to be reborn :) According to its characteristics, the SSD is not the best, but considering the price, it seems to me that there are simply no competitors and it’s a sin to find fault with the fact that it loses 20-30% in speed to disks that cost 2-3 times more.

Windows 10 loads in 32 seconds, I lost one mounting bolt from the kit with the motherboard and searched for it in the case for half a day, it doesn’t fit from any children’s typewriter and Chinese consumer goods, and self-tapping screws too, a bolt of this diameter was generally invented by perverts, but this is not a minus of the product applies by the way, the main difference from hdd - hdd you turn on the computer and go to put the kettle on so that you come and everything is inclusive -m2…

When assembling a new computer, fast loading and operation of the operating system was a priority, so I chose only an SSD. Because Since the case is compact, I thought for a long time which form factor to choose M.2 or standard 2.5 inches. And I decided that there was no difference, and I liked M.2 even more. Although, provided that there is a connector on the motherboard, but now, it seems that everyone has it. Computer boots in 23 seconds.

Bought for a neighbor. He was attracted by the price of 1700r. I would not occupy the m2 slot with this SSD, m2 can give much higher read / write speeds that this drive model is not capable of! In any case, Windows 10 boots instantly, compared to conventional HDDs. He coped with the task of speeding up the performance of the system with a bang! But as for me, it's still better to add another 1500r to OCZ and get a read / write speed 5 times higher than this
