Western Digital 2TB Blue 3D NAND Internal SSD – WDS200T2B0B

This being a SATA (vs NVME) SSD is targeted more for a storage HDD rather than boot drive. Fantastic price bought during year-end promotion. Getting about 160MB as reported by Windows 10 File Explorer when copying a directory of 1TB from HDD, connected by putting it in a Oricco M2. SATA to USB 3.0 box. Something to note, at first I used a very durable Baseus braided cable which was normally used for charging. It worked but realised later the very slow speed I was getting was due to the cable. Switch to the very short cable which came with the Oricco box and it flies. Not all cables are the same – I learned something about the Baseus cable that I liked so much.

Do some research and check your laptop or pc model before purchasing. Make sure you have the right cut slot M or B or both. Also keywords to check is MSATA or NGFF for this particular drive. Installation is not easy on my old HP laptop and I had to do a search to figure out how to get the BIOS to see it. I was able to find enough source material about how it can be done and there are even youtube videos to help thankfully. Nice storage capacity 2TB instead of my old one 256G. I’ve purchased from GoHardDrive before, they are a great seller and have great products at more than reasonable prices.

Not a lot more to say, really. I put this in my Acer laptop’s secondary SATA M.2 slot, got an extra 1.8TB after it was formatted and it works fine so far and the speed is 300+ MB/second.

I did notice that it can move slightly if I push on it after being installed, but it hasn’t caused any problem and that might be due to the laptop’s screw being oversized rather than the board being undersized.

I couldn’t clone my old HDD using the acronis true image software due to an error (even though I ran chkdsk and nothing came up). Even tried Macrium (with the setting to ignore bad sectors enabled) to no avail. I ended up using another free software – EaseUS Todo Backup – which had a “sector by sector” option for cloning, and that worked and copied my old hard drive perfectly. Since I was copying from a smaller 1TB HDD to a bigger 2TB SSD, I used another free software, MiniTool Partition Wizard, to expand my old partition to take up the remaining space in my SSD.

Another note: I stupidly installed this without realizing that the mounting screw was not preinstalled on my motherboard. A lot of the videos on YouTube neglected to mention that. Check if yours is already installed on the motherboard, if not, check the box if the screws came separately. I only realized after a week of installing it wrongly that I needed the mounting screw first lol, but so far my SSD is still fine.

Disco veloz, tanto en lectura como en escritura, muy facil de instalar y con muy buena capacidad
