Product Features
High capacity with enhanced
reliability
A WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD
uses Western Digital 3D NAND
technology not only for higher
capacities (up to 2TB) than the
previous generation WD Blue SSDs,
but also to help reduce cell-to-cell
interference for enhanced reliability.
Enhanced power efficiency
Offering improved endurance, a WD
Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD features
an active power draw up to 25%
lower than previous generations of
WD Blue SSDs. And with less power
used, you’re able to work longer
before recharging your laptop.
Superior performance for high-end
computing
For a variety of computing
applications like gaming, HD media
playback, or creative software,
look to WD Blue 3D NAND SATA
SSDs. Western Digital 3D NAND
technology helps enable sequential
read speeds up to 560MB/s and
sequential write speeds up to
530MB/s for fast system boot-ups,
quick application responses, and
rapid transfer speeds.
Leading-edge reliability
An 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), up
to 500 TBW (terabytes written),
and several error correction
technologies, WD Blue 3D NAND
SATA SSDs can help guard data for
years to come.

Functional Integrity Testing Lab
(F.I.T. Lab™), every WD Blue 3D
NAND SATA SSD is verified for
compatibility with a wide range
of desktop and laptop computers.
