There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Love Western Digital drives and the SSD's are no different. Management software very good as well.
Highly recommend this device.
I've done a video on this on my YouTube channel EcoAnbitionsAustralia.
Top reviews from other countries

1. Boot time on my machine is less than 15 seconds
2. MS office opens as soon as you click on a file (haven't seen taking more than 3 seconds)
3. Chrome is never stuck (can open 10-12 tabs, never tried more than that but pretty sure it can handle more)
4. Significant time reduction in transferring file from pendrive, hard drive, phone
5. 3k for a 240gb ssd is the best deal, can't say about the coming times as technology improves but this is the best deal you can get for now
6. There are people who have written non satisfactory reviews on this (n they have compared it with samsung evo, let me tell you, i am sure that is among the best ssd available, but it comes at double the price with may be 20% extra performance, you can do the math to figure out which is better option when it comes to a value buy)
7. Honest opinion: If you are someone looking for an ssd that offers decent performance (8-10x better than 5400rpm hdd), and don't wanna spend too much on it then this is product for you
I hope this review helps you in making an informed decision on buying an ssd.
Thank you.

After switching to the SSD, the system boot time is 10 seconds max, sometimes less, reasons unknown. Photoshop now loads in less than 7 seconds, with all plugins loaded. It's a huge improvement.
Moreover, you don't have to worry about sudden shakes to the laptop, that goes without saying.
One thing to mention here, WD Green is the cheapest SSD on the WD lineup, Blue and Black are faster. If you have the budget for those, go for either a blue or a black.
Amazing product, at an affordable price.
Four stars only for the packaging, it could have been better.

Nach Einbau und Backup-Restore zeigte die WD-grenn-SSD erhebliche Performance-schwächen. Ein Test mit CrytalDiskMark 6.0.2 bestätigte die super schlechten Werte. Die SSD ist zu 67% gefüllt gewesen.
SSD-Typ "WD GREEN"
Modell: WDS240G2G0A-00JH30
S/N: 183965800729
Ein Vergleich mit anderen älteren SSDs (Crucial MX200, Samsung EVO 840, Micron C400) aus verschiedenen PCs bringen weitaus bessere Werte (bis zu 30x) und sind beim Arbeiten wesentlich flotter. Ein Tausch der WD-SSD in einem anderen schnellen PC zeigte ebenfalls die schlechte Performace, also liegt der Fehler eindeutig bei der SSD.
Fazit: Im Endeffekt ist dei SSD langsamer als eine mech. drehende Harddisk. Die WD-SSD geht wieder nach 4 Tagen zurück.

The device arrived in a standard retail box with a few instruction on the packaging but no software or any USB to SATA connection cable to facilitate the transfer of data and operating system. If you don't already have such a cable or facility then you may want to find a SSD which comes with this cable and software included.
The recommened software to facilitate the transfer of OS/data to the SSD is AOMEI and is available online. The standard (Free) version is sufficient to transfer the OS and data and will allow, if required, the current main disk content to be transfered to a smaller SSD.
The SSD itself comes out of the box in an unformatted state and therefore requires an initial formating process to be performed. This needs to be done using the "Disk Management" page facilities of windows 10. NTFS is the recommended format but others are available if required. SSD's can usually be sucessfully formatted using the Quick format method.
Once the disk is formatted the AOMEI software is used to transfer the os and data. This can take over an hour depending upon the amount of data to transfer. Once complete the current main disk needs to be removed and the SSD put into its place. The PC should then boot up on the SSD and work as before.
On my aging DV2 boot up and general running of programmes was greatly improved. The computer also stopped using a memory card used for readyboost as it stated that the computer was fast enough not to require it.
Overall I was very pleased with the result. The PC now runs at an acceptable level for general domestic use.
Other things you may want to consider. The SSD described here is a Western Digital Green. Western Digital also do a blue version. The difference is in the way and speed that data is written to the internal chips. The green version is not as fast at writing big files as the blue version is. Also both the Green and Blue version have a SATA version 3 interface. Old PC's like my DV2 have a SATA Version 2 interface (compatable with V3) that runs at half the speed of V3. As such fitting a blue to my PC would be of little benefit.
SSD's have a life (number of writes) associated with them. For most domestic use PC's this should not be an issue. If the PC is heavily used (ie high graphics video mastering,CAD, etc.) it might also be worth increasing your computers memory (if possible) to reduce the workload on the SSD. Most SDD manufacturers produce software that examines their SDD's and can determine their health/remaining life. This software can usually be downloaded free from the manufactures sites.

I am using HDD from nearly 15 years. i was tired by high starting times of windows and programs. But after this beast i installed windows boots nearly in 5 to 8 seconds. If you are using hibernation than this is for you.
Pros :-
- Comes in Budget
- Very thin and light
- Price to performance ratio is good
- Eco friendly drive
- uses only 3 to 4 watts from PSU
- Installation is easy
- Read and write speeds are far more better than other SSDs
- Opening programs now taking less time like Adobe after effects, photoshop, cinema 4d
- Boost performance in Games like loading times, reaction times etc.
- easily fits in laptops
- Dual drive and combination is great for productivity like 1 HDD and 1 SSD
I advice that this is very thin and light drive so be careful during installation
Use easeus software for windows transferring from HDD to SSD. or use windows inbuilt image backup.
