western digital have generally always had good quality storage devices, I have had a good run with their drives (though currently not using them) and one of their 300gb hdd would still work now if I had a use for it.

I have several WD Blue 3D SSD's out in builds. Not 1 single issue with any of them so far and some are 4 yrs old now.

I don't think you can make any assumptions about SSD quality based on WD's HDD business. Over the years WD has acquired several SSD makers, including SiliconSystems Inc, sTec, Virident and SanDisk. I'm guessing that the "SanDisk design team" is responsible for most of WD's current SSD tech, so perhaps one would do better to compare the reliability of SanDisk's flash products.

The WD Blue are solid performers.

The 2.5" and M.2 versions are the same performance, just i a different package.
Both SATA III.

What motherboard is this going on?
