SSD disk Western Digital 250 GB M.2 6 Gbit/s WDS250G2B0B

WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD in M.2 form factor delivers 250 GB of solid-state storage with high read and write speeds for everyday and high-performance computing. Built on 3D NAND technology, this SSD provides improved capacity, reliability and power efficiency compared with previous WD Blue generations. It is suitable for desktops and laptops and supports fast system boot-ups, quick application responses and rapid file transfers.

Advantages

3D NAND construction increases density and reduces cell-to-cell interference for greater reliability while improving power efficiency with up to 25% lower active power draw compared with prior WD Blue models. The drive offers near-sustained sequential read and write throughput (up to 550 MB/s read and 525 MB/s write in this capacity class) for faster performance, no moving parts for shock resistance, and multi-year endurance ratings and error-correction features to protect stored data. It is backed by extensive compatibility testing and a limited 3-year warranty.
