Pros

The sssd is now the os drive with a clean install via download. It was literally plug and transfer. Gives life to an old computer.

Good performer, competitive price. Could not be happier with this product. Made pictures of my dog load way faster than before.

Cons

Data loss is on me and their recommended companies to recover it cost nearly $1000, with no guaranty. Bios and os could not see the drive. It is now unable to open and i can not access all my files anymore.

Wd and seagate have never even asked me what i used the drive for. Running a plex media server on it in a desktop would have been ok, but not file storage in a nas. I recommend you go with samsung if you want an ssd which lasts and works better.

Purchased new in 2016 and just failed (june 2021) catastrophically without warning. Very unreliable product.

Dont buy this hard drive. They are cheaper but you get what you pay for. Splurge and spend the extra $35 on a better manufacturer. Do yourself a favor and buy a drive manufactured by literally anyone else.

Quality

Could not be happier with this product.

Works as advertised and is a quality product.

I forget what my previous hdd startup was but, with the ssd, this is hardly considered a wait for me.

Packaging/appearance

Very useful when placed in the caddy and inserted in the atomos 4k recorder - high quality video can be recorded at high speed accurately

Competitiveness

I've also been using multiple 960gb models as well as other 480gb models for past 4 -5 years.

I use them to replace all hdd in me and my family's laptops and pcs.

I do have a samsung pro nvme as my boot drive an my main pc but i have about 6tb of sandisk ssds as my document drive in raid 0.

All ssds can fail, even the premium models.
