Most people who use it to its full capabilities will be those with significant music collections, photographers and videographers, gamers, and anyone who just likes to keep their memories. If you are a web designer, a performer, or someone who just needs a ton of space, this is for you. – Sizing If you are looking to stay on budget, then you will need to simply compare prices because they are really similar. However, value is a different story. The ultra-compact M.2 2280 WD Blue SATA SSD Drive goes through extensive compatibility and reliability testing to ensure it meets the high standards of the WD brand. The Seagate Barracuda costs a bit more but provides more value for what you get. You will need to buy some additional protection software, however. Performance This was designed to be used in many prebuilt all-in-one PCs and a variety of desktops. However, the popularity of the design and the reliability almost forced WD to release it as an internal hard drive for buildable PCs. This hard drive was built for tasks that require a large amount of storage and space.

years or Max Endurance (TBW) limit, whichever occurs first. See support.WesternDigital.com for regional specific warranty details. Reliability is one of the most important things about your power supply, and both WD Blue and Seagate Barracuda are among the most reliable. SSD is designed with no moving parts to help protect against data loss if it is accidentally bumped or dropped. And with 1.75M hours MTTF (mean time to failure) 2, up to 600 TBW (terabytes written) 3, and several error correction technologies, WD Blue SATA SSDs can help guard data for years to come.Unfortunately, there were also some issues that you need to be aware of, as some of them continue into today. – Specs: State-of-the-art seeking algorithms and advanced power management features ensure low power consumption Per quanto riguarda la capienza effettiva dei singoli HHD è diversa per ogni modello, essa può essere calcolata facilmente moltiplicando il numero di TB per 0.93, e in modo molto semplice e veloce si ottiene il risultato. TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.

One thing to note is that this is not only a good performer, but a safe performer. There are a lot of safety features built into the system to help keep you safe, including the NoTouch Ramp Load technology from Western Digital that safely and imperceptibly positions the recording head off the disk surface.

The recording head never touches the disk media, ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit. A WD Blue SATA Internal SSD can last up to 1.75M hours MTTF 2 (mean time to failure), with up to 600 TBW 3 (terabytes written), and has built in technology to correct errors in real time.

Value that can be beat

As used for transfer speed, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations. Keep your imagination flowing as you create faster while maintaining low power consumption. With read speeds up to 3,500 MB/s 3 (500GB – 2TB 1 models), your system can run up to 5X faster than our best SATA SSDs so you can stay in your creative moment. We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems. Seagate first introduced their line of internal hard drives in 2007, with the Barracuda 7200.11 HDD. These drives went on to be popular with gamers, builders, and even manufacturers of all-in-one computers.
