Performance for High-End Computing
For high-end computing applications such as gaming, HD media playback, or creative software, WD Blue solid-state drives have 545 MB/s read and 525 MB/s write speeds you need for the performance you want. Tiered caching technology utilizes SLC (single-level cell) and TLC (triple-level cell) flash technology to enable these impressive sequential read and write speeds, allowing for fast system boot up, quick application response, and rapid transfer of data.
Reliability
With no moving parts, a solid-state drive is designed to help protect against data loss if a drive is accidentally bumped or dropped. With 1.75M hours of MTTF (mean time to failure) and an endurance rating of up to 400 TBW (terabytes written), WD Blue SSDs can help guard data for years to come. WD Blue solid-state drives also use several leading error-correction technologies to help prevent data loss and provide lasting reliability.
Maximized Multitasking
WD Blue SSDs are optimized for multitasking and can easily run several resource-heavy applications simultaneously. This feature lets you run a background virus scan, play a 4K video, and check an email message.
Compatibility
This WD Blue SSD features a 2.5" storage drive form factor and has a height of 7mm to make it compatible with compact notebooks, NUCs, and desktops.
Free WD SSD Dashboard
The downloadable WD SSD Dashboard software program provides a suite of tools so you're always able to check on the health of your solid-state drive. This free program helps you track things such as disk model, firmware version, S.M.A.R.T. attributes, or simply monitor how much space you have left on your WD Blue SSD.

A couple of these are used to store my Lightroom and Photoshop libraries and photos. Reading and writing files are fast. I would purchase again, should the need arise.

One of the best SSD regarding price and quality ratio. Expecially here on B&H since it cost me less then buying it in my country, so i recommend totally the ourchase of this item on B&H. Also the shippng was really fast even I am in an other continent :) The write and read speed is fabulous, can be used also on the Atomos Ninja V monitor and this is one of the main reasons i have bought it, but i will purchase another also for my PC just with bigger capacity (1TB) Thank you B&H

NOT for Windows 7!

A drive is a drive, but the bundled Acronis software wouldn't recognize it. After some back-and-forth with WD, and downloading work-around software which crashed, WD informed me that they don't support Windows 7. SO much for using this product to update a legacy computer!

Easy to load and fast.

I use this hard drive with an Atomos Ninja V+ external recorder. I get almost two hours of video while recoding in ProRes Raw. The hard drive works great. I got it because the Atomos brand hard drive won't work. The WD does work!

I've been using these drives for a few years now. Never had a problem. I use them with an external drive dock and this fits my work flow perfectly, making it easy to switch between video editing projects.

Is this compatible with Atomos Ninja V?
Asked by: Fariz
The latest spec sheet from the atomos site (via "download ninja" from supported drives) says that the 1TB WD Blue will support prores raw 6K. They didn't list the 2TB version. The download sheet for the shogun7 does have a red dot for CDNG raw for the 1TB, but the legend says red dots are "failed/untested", so it could be that it was just untested. Especially since there was a green dot for CDNG for the 500TB version.

Can this be used in an Atomos Ninja V?
Asked by: Shawn
You will need an adapter as the form factor doesnt match the 2.5 inch protocol perfectly. You will need to buy the Atomos Master Caddy II SATA drive adapters and outfit this drive with that plastic sleeve for use with the Ninja V.
