Question 1

Does this product include an adapter bracket for mounting in a 3.5" drive bay?

Accepted Answer

Does not.

Question 2

What is the "actual" capacity of a 2TB SSD from WD when loaded into Windows 10? With HDD's, one loses a bit of space for whatever reason. I'm wondering if the same thing happens with SSD's.

Accepted Answer

that will happen on any hard drive. the loss of space is a hidden system partition. its used to store system restore files.

Question 3

Does this use a standard SATA & power connection or a mini SATA & power adapter?

Accepted Answer

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question. The WD Blue SSD drive would use a standard power and Sata connections.

Hope this helps,

Question 4

Will this Work with Mac OS?

Accepted Answer

No reason it shouldn't, but I didn't use this in my MAC. You will need to re-format it.

Select “Disk Utility” from the Utility drop down menu. Select your new hard drive from the left column in Disk Utility. Click on the “Erase” tab. Choose the Volume format (we recommend “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

The external 500 gig SSD Samsung drive I got worked no problem.

Question 5

I'm only getting 390MB/s from this drive, and is not much faster then the HDD array its was replacing. I'm not sure why its this slow, my other 2 250g ssds in raid0 peak at 1GB/s
Anyone have any idea why its this slow?

Accepted Answer

I have the 500GB drive as a second SSD in my laptop. When I move a single large file, like a movie, I get 450+MB/s, however, when I move my MP3 folder, it's much slower. It's 5.8GBs, and averages about 305MB/s transfers. Hope this helps. Oh, this is moving between the NVMe drive my OS is on and the WD Blue SSD.

Question 6

Will this replace my hard drive in my HP ENVY M9Z68AA#ABA ?

Accepted Answer

I've got a home build. The reason is that store-bought brands often require particular branded parts.  Go to HP's website and look for something called "Compatability"  or "Authorised Hardware". If you can't find these web pages, the answer is probably "NO". If you can, then look to see if this drive is compatable.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.
