The Straightforward Way to Retire a Mechanical Drive
Swapping a hard disk for this drive is the cheapest performance upgrade most machines will ever get, and it takes one 2.5-inch bay and one SATA cable to do it. The Western Digital Blue SA510 reads at up to 560 MB/s and writes at up to 520 MB/s over SATA 6Gb/s, and because there is nothing spinning inside, it draws less power, runs without vibration, and survives being carried around in a laptop. The 7mm cased height fits standard notebook and desktop bays, and Acronis True Image for Western Digital is included to clone the existing drive across before the swap. Compare it against the rest of the solid state drives range at Island Electrical Supply.
Built For
- Laptop and desktop upgrades where the machine still has a 2.5-inch SATA bay rather than an M.2 slot.
- Fleet refreshes, with 500 TB written of rated endurance and a five-year limited warranty behind each unit.
- Creative and editing workstations moving large project files, at 87,000 random read IOPS and 83,000 random write IOPS.
- Builds that need capacity on a mature interface, with 2TB on a single SATA channel.
The downloadable Western Digital SSD Dashboard reports drive health, temperature, and available space after installation, and the drive ships with a free three-month Dropbox Professional trial.
