Western Digital SiliconEdge Blue 256GB Solid State Drive Review

Over the past year we have looked at quite a number of solid state drives. The surprising thing is that these drives have been from companies that are not known for storage products. They have mainly been from memory companies like OCZ, Corsair and...

Very impressive read speeds ; Nice gunmetal casing ; Quality built ; 3-year warranty

Write speeds were a concern

Iâ€™m sure you and almost everyone you know has a favorite hard drive manufacturer and when they are building a new system they will ONLY use those types of drives. Â Honestly I am more or less the same way. Â As I said in the introduction of this...

Slooooooooow

Failed after 2 months

I purchased an SSD for the speed and what I thought would be more reliability. I personally have never lost a SATA or an IDE in my 20 years of owning PC's, ironic that my first is one of these. Owned a PC repair shop for the last 15+ years and the...

Price- got it from a Shellshocker Deal. Despite not being the fastest SSD on the market I was thrilled to finally replace my slower 7200rpm sata

Like the last poster, mine failed with a BSOD and then an ecc error. Unrecognizable after that. What was really annoying was Western Digital's RMA not allowing SSD's to be done as an advance shipment. I had to buy another drive while I wait for them to...
