  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    SATA III

    Modern hard drive connection standard.

    The majority of SSD hard drives use this standard. The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2280)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.

    This review is about the capacity: 240 GB

    I use it on a laptop with hackintosh software. For its price, I believe it is value for money and worth its cost. Before I installed this SSD, I used an HDD and hackintosh took at least 25+ seconds to load, it may have been more but it has been a while and I can't remember the exact time. However, with the SSD, the software opens in at least 5 seconds and I don't have to wait for all the applications to load first, like I did with the HDD. It's worth it.

    I have it for about 2 months. It is very good. It was installed on an hp laptop that was slow and revived it. Very fast startup and normal data transfer. I definitely recommend it and it's worth its money.

    I use it on a laptop with hackintosh software. For its price, I believe it is value for money and worth its cost. Before I installed this SSD, I used an HDD and hackintosh took at least 25+ seconds to load, it may have been more but it has been a while and I can't remember the exact time. However, with the SSD, the software opens in at least 5 seconds and I don't have to wait for all the applications to load first, like I did with the HDD. It's worth it.

    I bought one WD Green at 240GB and also got a second one at 480GB. Very good and two for their money. Overall, WD is a very good company, all my HDD and SSD are WD.

    For the price, it's amazing! I put it in an external case and I have it with me for use via USB3. It reaches the maximum of USB3!

    I have it for about 2 months. It is very good. It was installed on an hp laptop that was slow and revived it. Very fast startup and normal data transfer. I definitely recommend it and it's worth its money.

    For the job I need it, the disc is just fine.
    The price is good too, at 45 that I bought it 1.5 months ago.
