Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The WD Green 480GB (WDS480G3G0B) is the kind of SSD I’d buy when the goal is “make the machine feel faster” without paying for premium performance. For everyday office use—Windows boot, browser tabs, document work, light admin tasks—it’s a solid, dependable upgrade, and that SATA base means it’s broadly compatible with older desktops/laptops that aren’t set up for NVMe. At £118.92 ex‑VAT, though, you’re paying a bit for the convenience/value balance, so I’d only choose it if you specifically need SATA M.2 support rather than just chasing cheapest per GB.

Who should buy: small businesses refreshing PCs with SATA M.2 slots, users who care about reliability and responsiveness more than peak speed, and anyone trying to extend the useful life of existing hardware (especially in office fleets). Who should *not* buy: teams looking for “best value performance” for new builds—because in the same price bracket, NVMe drives often feel noticeably snappier under heavier workloads, and there are better deals elsewhere if you don’t need SATA.

If you’re upgrading a single workstation or a couple of machines and you’ve confirmed it’s going into a SATA M.2 slot, this is a sensible purchase. If you’re buying for new systems or you have the option to go NVMe, I’d steer you away from Green and toward something faster for similar money.
