User questions & answers

Question:	Does this one have the option of Transferring files or photos from phone directly onto drive or is computer needed
Answer:	Yes you do. The SSD is formatted for the PC/windows. I formatted the drive on my Mac using disk utilities to the exFAT file format, so I can use It on both my PC and my Mac. If you are only going to use it on a Mac, you should consider it formatting to Apple’s newest file system APFS. But however you decided to format the ADATA, it only takes a few minutes, the SSD drive is VERY fast.
Question:	The posted dimensions do not seem correct when looking at user photos (4.34 inches x 2.24 inches x 1.68 inches). Is it really 1.68" high
Answer:	mine came in NTFS - but formatting this drive takes maybe a minute or so. No big deal at all.
Question:	Can I transfer smaller files
Answer:	2.9 x 1.8 x 0.4 inch
Question:	Can this be used to provide cctv video storage (constantly reading/writing............forever
Answer:	Fyi, difficult to whether files will be compatible with MacOS since that depends on what those files are. Further, the drive would need to be configured for MacOS (newest Mac format - APFS, MacOS Extended [Journaled], Ex-FAT which is compatible with both MacOS and Windows). Given that this drive will be formatted for MacOS, files are data files vs. Windows or Windows compatible applications, you should be able to use this drive to transfer those files (again, data vs. Windows apps). Conversely, MacOS is far more capable of reading even some Windows and Windows compatible applications than Microsoft is in reading MacOS installed applications. Again, it's difficult to tell from your scant detail, what those files are and if they will be compatible with MacOS. Additionally, your Windows system will not "see", recognize or access a drive that is formatted in a MacOS protocol (APFS, MacOS Extended [Journaled]). For Window to access your new drive, that drive will need to be formatted as Ex-FAT to be read by Microsoft and MacOS.
Question:	Does this need to be formatted for mac before using. os high sierra
Answer:	I would do a clean format of it on the imac first, you can choose exFAT (it will work on both PC and mac) or you can choose Mac OS Extended (HFS+) which is more stable than exFAT, but you will need software on your PC to read/write to the drive. If the PC is your main machine I would just choose exFAT.
Question:	Is this drive preformatted in exfat or ntfs? info on amazon and elsewhere seems contradictory. i'm hoping to plug and play with an ipad pro
Answer:	Measured at 16 inches.
Question:	What are external dimensions of the SE800, for case sizing purposes
Answer:	The first one I got the cable did not fit well and Samsung replaced the drive. The second one has been fine
Question:	I’m switching from pc to a macbook pro. would this be a good device to help me transfer all my files
Answer:	Your iMac has USB 3.0 which is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1. That has about half the theoretical maximum transfer rate of USB 3.1 Gen 2, which is the interface used by this drive. On the upside, it is still fully compatible with USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 and while the transfer rate you’ll experience will be lower than if you had a computer with Gen 2 USB, it really isn’t that much slower in actual use. If you’re moving from any spinning platter drive to an SSD regardless of the interface you were using with the platter drive, you will see a HUGE performance improvement using this external SSD drive.

User questions & answers

Question:	Se demora de 1 a 2 meses en llegar a Colombia
Answer:	A mi me llego en 5 días, fue rápido!!
Question:	hi, i'm new to this, does it work for an asus rog strix b450 f gaming
Answer:	for anyone else reading this, YES this will work for the Rog Strix B450-F gaming motherboard. The other user that answered saying you'd need an adapter is wrong. The Rog Strix B450-F Gaming mobo has two M.2 slots. I know, I have the same setup.
Question:	How do you clone this drive
Answer:	The recommendation of Ghost as a cloning program is terrible. The consumer version of Norton Ghost was discontinued sometime back in 2013-2014. It was designed specifically for Windows 7 and is thus obsolete for today's hardware and software requirements. It's replacement, Symantec Ghost, was designed primarily for enterprise use. so unless you're working in an IT department environment, it's probably the worst choice for the home consumer who simply wants to upgrade their personal PC or laptop to a faster M.2 NVMW drive. There are plenty of free cloning software applications out there: AOMEI, Macrium, Clonezilla, and others. Go on the web, look up "free cloning software", read the reviews. I personally would go to the WD support website and take a look at their user forum. There are plenty of users there who have had hands on experience cloning to their WD M.2 NVMW devices; they provide detail as to what software works and what doesn't work for cloning.
Question:	Does it come with screw if not what's the size of screw
Answer:	The WD blue SN550 does NOT come with screws. M3 screws should do the trick on 2.5" SSD Dell systems. You should have to go up a size for a 3.5" drive to a 6-32 (head pattern varies). Start with an M3 then if sloppy, use the thicker 6-32 screw.

User questions & answers

Question:	My pc has a i7 8700k with 16 gigs of ram with a nvidia 2080 graphics card and already has one of these 1 tb ssd in it. Cab I install 1 more
Answer:	Almost certainly yes: you may need to purchase a cable to connect it to the sata port on the motherboard, and go into the bios to update the settings and ensure your primary drive remains the boot drive
Question:	Does this come with free cloning software
Answer:	I think so (on their website), but you seriously shouldn't be purchasing any WD Green storage options anyway. Sequential write speeds on them are famously low. I just got a new Samsung 970 Evo drive and it's literally 10x faster than this Green SSD.
Question:	What's the difference between this an a wd blue ssd? furthermore, would this be ideal as a boot drive on a desktop pc
Answer:	Performance and longevity, the Blue is faster than the green and has a higher endurance rating (lasts longer). WD Green is essentially the economy line, which tends to also use less power, thus being an ECO line. I wouldn't recommend the green line unless web-browsing and office is the extent of your computer usage. The Blue has 5 times the endurance rating, 400TBW vs 80TBW, which is enough of a difference alone, for me.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could this be used as main system boot drive on a workstation? Not looking for supreme speed, just wondering about reliability, generally ok
Answer:	Yes, this is a fantastic VERY LARGE capacity drive. I'm currently booting a RaspberryPi 4B/8GB from this. I would create a smaller boot partition, separate from the data area, for better management and backup.
Question:	Will this work on an msi gt75 titan? The 7.7tb model
Answer:	Yes it will. I had it on my gt75 then now on my Alienware area-51m laptop
Question:	Will this compatible with ps5 console
Answer:	Absolitely not. PS5 uses PCIe 4 NVMe m.2 drives and must reach 7000mb/s speeds. It is not unlocked atm yet either. This drive is 540mb/s. The drive for the PS5 is a EVO 980 Pro. 240% for 1tb
Question:	Will this work on any mac with sata
Answer:	I have used this through an USB 3 to SATA adaptor on a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro and they both worked great

User questions & answers

Question:	Clone software available or not? desc "ssd dashboard and cloning software download (4) " would like to clone my c drive to it
Answer:	The Acronis WD Edition (a special eidtioin of Acronis Backup) did not work for me as it did not see the SanDisk drive on the USB dongle. I ended up using the full version of EaseUS Todo Backup but the free version of it would do the job as well. Both are Windows solutions but with Todo Backup you should be able to create the bootable CD/DVD on a WIndows machine then use it on anything else that will let you boot. Clonezilla is a Linux based solution that I've also used before but it's not as intuitive. You burn an ISO image to a CD/DVD or a USB stick (different version for the latter) and boot to it and follow the instructions. You create a bootable CD or DVD with Todo Backup after the Windows installation and boot to it (you may need to change your boot options in BIOS to be able to do that) with the SanDisk plugged into the USB. Choose the source drives (there's a small partition ahead of the drive C partition that you need to check), and any other partitions you created, then continue and choose the destination drive, the SanDisk. Choose "optimize for SSD" and then proceed and wait a long time (a few hours). The remaining time left indicator, like it is with many of these backup programs, will tel yo there's only 5 or 10 minutes left in the copy operation when it will take a few hours. I left mine go overnight and it was finished in the morning but in my experience, it would have taken only a few hours (I just didn't check until morning). You can continue to use the Todo Backup CD/DVD you created to back up your PC/laptop to an external hard drive for regular backup. The full (paid) version allows you to restore incremental backups so I feel it's worth the money, but if you always only make a full backup, the free one will do nothing more for you.
Question:	Is this compatible and does it fit a late 2011 macbook pro to replace the sata disk hard drive
Answer:	Yes. The "Unibody" MacBook Pro models are compatible with a 2.5-inch (notebook) SATA drive at as much as 9.5mm thick. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-unibody-faq/macbook-pro-13-15-17-mid-2009-how-to-upgrade-hard-drive-ssd.html This Sandisk SSD is the 7mm form factor, however, I don't think it's significant because Apple uses the screw heads to hold the drive in place. You can view the installation (instructions) for free at OWC https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/ -- the "Early 2011" revision is identical in procedure to your "Late 2011"
Question:	Does it come with the required sata cable
Answer:	I have MANY SSD's in MANY older laptops and in MANY 2.5" USB drive cases, and have never had to worry about a SATA cable. For laptops and such USB cases, you just slide the drive as is, into the SATA interface pins -- it only will go one way, and you're done. If you're going to install this 2.5" form factor drive into a desktop or tower machine, you should get a kit to do so. It should come with proper adapters and the needed SATA cable for THAT specific application. I have never, ever, seen such a drive come with a SATA cable, as in the vast majority of cases, it simply isn't needed. My laptops span the 2008 to 2014 manufactured date range.
Question:	Mlc or tlc? thanks
Answer:	The old models (those with MLC), the "G25" in its name and the new TLC-based devices instead called "G26". https://pcpartpicker.com/forums/topic/214469-sandisk-ssd-plus-120gb240gb-models-with-the-model-number-ending-in-g26-have-different-nand-flash-quick-rant
