manufacturer model description
Western Digital Solid State Storage WD SiliconEdge Blue The SiliconEdge Blue family of SSDs from WD are low power rugged 2.5" MLC SSDs with TRIM support and NCQ.

R/W speeds are :- 250MB/s and 170MB/s respectively.

Capacity options are:-64GB, 128GB and 256GB.

Editor's notes:- this was WD's 1st SSD line aimed at the consumer notebook market - but drew on years of experience shipping millions of its "SiliconDrive" brand SSDs into the enterprise embedded server market (since 2004).

Unlike many other notebook SSD designs which have been rushed to market and then recalled - WD says "Before we put the WD brand on an a drive, they are designed and tested in WD's FIT Lab on hundreds of systems to pass our rigorous data integrity and reliability screening."
