Lagging sequential-write performance, Capacity tops out at 1TB, No bundled drive-cloning/migration software
WD's first SSD since its acquisition of SanDisk nicely threads the performance-and-price needle. This is a solid first showing that should satisfy most consumers who aren't obsessed with benchmarks and maximum possible speed...
