Does anyone know the rated write speed for the retail versions WD drive? Specifically looking at write speeds for WDBH2D0010HNC-NRSN. I cannot find the write speed anywhere which is concerning. Wondering as it is much easier for me to buy retail than to order online.

This drive appears to be a WD Blue. I’m not sure what you mean by write speed. We do list the Host to/from the drive. Since this is a SATA 3 (6 Gb/s) drive the list max transfer rate is 150 MB/s. I included a link to the WD Blue spec sheet. http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-7…
