WD Green 1TB SATA SSD
WD Green 1TB SATA SSD is a 1TB drive that reads at up to 545MB/s. In daily use this is what decides how fast Windows boots and how quickly a game world loads. It uses the older SATA connection, so treat it as a library drive rather than the main one.
The year marked with ≈ is the generation's launch period rather than this exact model's launch date.
