The WD Blue SATA SSD receives mixed reviews from customers. Some users praise the drive for its speed and reliability. They find it easy to connect and appreciate the included software for cloning their existing drives. Additionally, there is a sentiment of trust in the WD brand, with some customers believing that WD won't let them down. However, there are also several negative reviews and concerns about the drive's failure rate.

The reviewer claims that approximately 20% of the drives they installed in customer computers have already failed.

Another user had a negative experience with the WD Blue SATA SSD, facing frequent system hang-ups, Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors, and a white screen indicating that the hard drive was not installed, even after a replacement. The customer emphasizes their loss and the lack of a refund policy, leading them to switch to a different company for a new SSD. Overall, while some customers have had positive experiences with the WD Blue SATA SSD, there are significant concerns raised about its reliability and failure rate, with multiple customers experiencing drive failures and loss of data.
