WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 2280

A WD BlueTM 3D NAND SATA SSD provides high capacity, increased reliability, and lightning-fast performance

The 3D NAND technology in a WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD WDS500G2B0B not only lets it hold more data (up to 2TB) than the previous generation of WD Blue SSDs, but it also helps reduce interference between cells, which makes it more reliable.

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 high-end computing applications like gaming, HD media playback, or creative software, look to WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSDs.

3D NAND technology helps make sequential read speeds of up to 560MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 530MB/s possible.

This means that systems can start up quickly, applications can respond quickly, and files can be moved quickly.

Leading-edge reliability

An SSD is designed with no moving parts to help protect against data loss if it is accidentally bumped or dropped.

With 1.75 million hours of MTTF (mean time to failure), up to 500 TBW (terabytes written), and several error correction technologies, WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSDs can help protect data for years to come.
