A capacious internal SSD-drive with a capacity of 1000 GB, designed to be connected to a standard connector with a SATA3 interface. Made in a case corresponding to the form factor 2.5″ (thickness 7 mm). It is positioned as a product of the middle price category of the 2017 model year, designed for personal computers, laptops, mini PCs and HTPC systems. The hardware basis of this model is a powerful 4-channel Marvell 88SS1074 controller (with 1024 MB DDR3L-1866 DRAM buffer), which works in conjunction with a 64-layer 3D TLC NAND BiCS3 flash memory from SanDisk.

The WD Blue SSD 3D NAND WDS100T2B0A supports SMART monitoring, NCQ technology, correctly processes the TRIM command, and provides high-speed SLC write caching with a buffer size of up to 16 GB. An impressive read/write speed of 560/530 Mbps and I/O performance (95K/84K IOPS) guarantee impressively fast loading of the operating system, browsers (including those with many cached tabs), resource-intensive applications and games. These characteristics are quite enough for the vast majority of scenarios for domestic and professional use. Due to its high energy efficiency, it increases the battery life of laptops. The manufacturer declares an impressive recording resource of 400 TB, which allows you to record about 100 GB of data daily for 10 years, which is more than enough for home and office systems.

good model, liked it

Damn it, this disc can be called, albeit with a stretch, shock-resistant. I dropped it with my claws 2 times - no change in performance.
Does not overheat. Does not lose performance (as of now).
Waiting for me in future use, who knows...
use WD WDS250G2B0A more than year
Good choice in this price category, I recommend!

Cloning Windows 7 from HDD to SSD was straightforward with the Acronis True Image program.
The drive has ceased to be the system's bottleneck, plus the long-awaited fast startup of Windows. I installed my favorite games on the SSD, and fps increased on ultra settings.
On the manufacturer's website, you can download the Acronis True Image software, which activates when the system detects this SSD. Then you can clone the drive with Windows. There is also a step-by-step guide for cloning Windows on the site.
The absence of screws, but they are missing in 95% of SSD kits. It doesn't matter, they can be purchased separately, along with a bracket for the 3.5" bay (rails).

a model with serious flaws

The drive failed upon first powering on the computer, there were clicks, sparks, a firework in a word (the first time this happened), after which I immediately cut off power to the system and contacted for RMA (warranty service) at the official WD service center in Moscow, having only a good impression of them from previous interactions (though it was a long time ago). In general, I brought in the drive, which smelled of burnt plastic from a kilometer away, to their center, and the lady at the reception, citing two tiny scratches on the casing of the drive from the SATA connector side (everything with screws, stickers, etc., is perfect), which were most likely acquired when installing the drive into the case, denied the warranty claim, arguing that the drive was attempted to be tampered with and said to contact the store where it was purchased. A burnt drive, smelling like burnt plastic was attempted to be tampered with, Carl (without touching the screws and stickers)! And who would even think of tampering with a new SSD drive after a breakdown? They could have come up with something more believable. So, if you bought an SSD from WD and connected it even once to a computer, which can very well lead to wear and tear, the silicon giant will deny your warranty. There are still two of their SSD drives in the system, they're all okay, the power supply is Enermax Platimax 1000 watts, never had any issues with it, so it's clearly not my hardware. And finally, they suggested I complain to any authorities if something is unsatisfactory.
P.S. RMA number #88003942. I'll update the review after receiving a response from the representation.
Overall, I have no complaints about WD drives, and in general, the price-quality ratio of the products is good, but see the comments.
Burned out when first turned on. Overall, not bad, defects happen everywhere, but see the comment.
