The following text is provided by WD and published verbatim.

In recent years, the way we work, learn, play and live has changed significantly. For many of us, the home office has become a new norm and educational institutions have also adapted to a more digitised environment. In addition, we have seen an unprecedented growth of online content – be it on social media, streaming platforms – and games with triple-A titles getting bigger and bigger. In this hybrid world, no PC or gaming console should be without an NVMe SSD. This is not only because we all need to securely store our most valuable files in a proper, internal storage drive, but also because you would be missing out on the speeds that an NVMe drive can offer.

Recognising the wide variety of storage needs, Western Digital offers a full colour spectrum of award-winning NVMe SSDs to suit every budget, capacity, workflow, and platform.

WD Blue – Boost your PC, notebook or desktop

For content creators and creatives that work with larger files and more complex workflows, the WD Blue range offers a substantial performance boost, low power for remote and mobile use, as well as reliability and extra capacity.
