Review: Ludicris Speed! But, Cloning Can Ruin Your Day - Replaced a 2013 HP Envy C: HDD with a WD Blue SSD. Result was amazing: start, shutdown, application startup and general operation are very much faster perhaps up to 3X faster. It is truly amazing. BUT, cloning took three frustrating days to sort out and online searches for cloning tips were unhelpful. After much trial and error, this is the easiest, safest, and least costly way to clone a C: HDD to an SSD: 1) Buy a SSD the same size as the HDD to be cloned. (Other sizes are possible but too much trouble to clone.) 2) Get 2 USB 3.0 (2.0 works too) to SATA adapters. One must has a 12v pwr supply for the HDD. (The SSD is powered through USB.) 3) Use a separate PC (I used a laptop) from the clone source. VERY IMPORTANT KEY TO SUCCESS! 4) Load the free SSD vendor cloning SW (Acronis True Image for WD Edition for a Western Digital SSD.) 5) With the separate PC up and running, connect the target (SSD) and source (HDD) using the USB adapters 6) Run DISKMGMT.msc to activate the target SSD. Do not partition it or assign it a drive letter. 7) Backup the source HDD using the Acronis backup tool. (Just in case.) 8) Run the cloning software and follow the cloning instructions to pick the target and source drives and then start cloning. This will take quite a while, be patient. 9) Wait for cloning to complete (an hour or more - go have lunch). 10) Remove the USB adapter cables from separate PC. Under no circumstances restart separate PC with source or target drive attached, it my corrupt all of the drives including the separate PC's C: drive. 11) Physically install the now cloned SSD into the source PC. Your will need a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter. 12) Keep the old source HDD until you are sure the new target SSD and your source PC get along then properly dispose of it. That's it! Depending on drive sizes and separate PC speed this should take no more than 2 to 4 hours with no hassle or frustration and the results are truly amazing.
Review: Feels Flimsy but is just Really Lite Weighted - For the money, I wanted something as tank-solid as my Intel SSD's I have. This thing feels like the packaging would weigh more. I was put off by this but after awhile, I have come to respect it. I mean, the light-weight is perfect if used in a laptop and would help to keep it lighter. Or maybe an IOT project. I guess I feel like it had to be heavy, or large, for the money, like that feeling you get spending $100 on a large-capacity SDCARD. Fact is, this thing is not only cool, and has NEVER felt hot to the touch, like my older Intel SSD's, but it's fast! Even when using a USB3 to SATA3 adapter, I am getting 250+MB/s. OK, so that is 2gbps and not even optimal, but for a USB plug-in high-capacity drive, that's insane compared to what I have seen with my older SSD's. I have had no issues with it although I have only had it a couple of months. I wish the warranty was still 5 years and not 3, but it is definitely serving my system WELL with the speed, weight, and also cool-running. We will see how it keeps up. If I run into issues with it, I'll post back here. As it stands though, I'll get a few more.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: ssd 3d mac early 2011 compatibility**
A: I installed this drive yesterday into Late 2011 MacBook Pro and swapped out the two 2gb RAM sticks with two 4gb RAM sticks. The new speed and performance is amazing. You will need a USB to SATA cable to connect the new SSD to your MacBook to clone the hard drive.  I downloaded freeware called Super Duper to clone drive. Then I removed ten tiny screws to access back of laptop. Four more screws hold hard drive in place and four star drive screws have to be swapped onto new SSD. Download the user guide from Apple for your model for steps and pictures of operation. The memory swap was easy, just plastic tabs holding sticks in place.

**Q: Will this work with win xp sp3?**
A: I have a Western Digital 320GB 10,000 RPM Velociraptor in my old XP machine. I keep it for offline use with the programs that I do not want to upgrade. They work fine, so there is no use in spending money on newer versions. The XP machine is old, but I built it well and it is as fast with XP as most new machines are with bloated 7 and 10. If you can't find a reasonably priced WD Velociraptor, then a WD Blue 7200 RPM drive will put new life into your old XP machine. I will keep mine until lightening, or something as sinister, destroys it, but it doesn't go online anymore.

**Q: What’s in the box drive, wires, etc...?**
A: No wires, just the 500 GB SSD.

**Q: If i use a sata to usb 3.1 cable, will this work on my xbox one s?**
A: You need a USB 3.0 SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable for 2.5 Inch SSD & HDD

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice drive, included cloning software is too crippled
*by F***R on October 12, 2019*

I used this drive to upgrade storage on my wife's small form factor PC. The drive itself is fine, not exactly top of the line performance but it's more than fast enough and large enough for everyday computing use. My only gripe is the included western digital cloning and utility software. The cloning software only works if you have the new drive installed as an internal drive. If you try to clone an old hard drive with this new drive attached via USB, the cloning software doesn't recognize the new drive as a Western Digital drive and it will refuse to work. This is a huge limitation that makes the included software completely USELESS for most people. Most people will want to clone the drive before removing the old drive out, since there's no easy way to even run the cloning software from a bare empty WD drive and some computers don't have any way to attach more than one internal drive. So that's a huge fail on Western Digital's part. I own the full version of Acronis so I just used that to clone the old drive. After cloning, this new drive swapped in for the old one without any problems and it has worked great ever since. So yes this is a nice SSD but if you're using it to replace an existing drive you will probably want to find a different cloning solution since Western Digital's software doesn't work if you need to use a USB adapter to attach the new drive while cloning.
