Description

The Western Digital Green SSD 480GB is a solid-state drive available in two primary form factors: a 2.5-inch / 7mm cased model and a slim M.2 2280 model. Both versions connect via a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface. With a formatted capacity of 480 GB, this drive is ideal for use as a boot drive to speed up system startup times and application loading, while also providing a decent amount of space for storing files.

The drive uses SLC (single-level cell) caching technology to help boost write performance for a faster, more responsive experience. It is a value-oriented SSD that prioritizes efficiency and basic performance. It is also known for its ultra-low power consumption, which can help extend the battery life of a laptop. As a solid-state drive, it contains no moving parts, making it lightweight, silent, and more resistant to shock and vibration compared to traditional hard drives. The WD Green SSD comes with a downloadable WD SSD Dashboard for monitoring drive health and a 3-year limited warranty.
