Western Digital Blue 1TB SATA SSD Review – the upgrade you have been waiting for

Conclusion

The WD 1 TB SSD not only speeds up OS boot time  but it also helps in speeding up applications like Photoshop as a swap file is necessary. With a larger swap file, that means productivity is increased as there will be less waiting time for the images for editing.

The package is simple and comes with no SATA cable or rack for 3.5″ to 2.5″ adaptor. It also didn’t include the Acronis Software and you would need to access the internet to download it before you can clone your exisiting HDD over.
