Pros
Pro Good performance for the price
At $279.99 for the 1TB version, it's one of the cheapest SSDs that offer the kind of performance offered by the WD Blue. Most SSDs at this price range usually are 5%-10% slower in both read and write speeds.
Pro Great performance when loading files and applications
With sequential read speed of 524MB/s, it's one of the fastest SSDs as far as reading goes.
Cons
Con Relatively short warranty
The WD Blue 3D has a three-year long warranty. This is a bit short especially considering how some SSDs have five-year warranties.
Con Not a good choice for people who want to encrypt their files
WD Blue 3D does not support hardware encryption for files. As such, it's not a good choice for people who want to keep their files encrypted and secure.
