Overall Satisfaction with Western Digital SSD

Western Digital SSDs (Solid-state drives) have many advantages over hard disk drives (HDDs), including faster speeds, lower energy consumption, and greater durability.

By upgrading our workstations with Western Digital SSD it has increased the performance without having to upgrade the computer itself.

Pros

  • Faster read / write times
  • More durable, no moving components
  • Better battery life with laptops due to the decrease in power consumption over a HDD

Cons

  • Price point. The prices are coming down but still more expensive than HDD
  • More Storage space would be nice.
  • It's allowed us to get more life out of older computers by improving their performance.
I think Western Digital SSD delivers high quality products
for the price point and warranty support I feel like WD has a better track record than Kingston.
