Western Digital 1TB WD Red SA500 NAS 3D NAND Internal SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5/7mm, Up to 560 MB/s - WDS100T1R0A

I bought this to replace a Samsung 840 Pro as a cache drive in my FreeNAS build. So far everything is running as smooth as it did before. The temperature of the drive is a little warmer than the old drive. At idle, the old drive sat around 1°C over ambient, this one sits around 5°C over ambient.

working fine for monument 2, sata 3 (not nvme) m.2 storage. -1 star for value for money vs. nvme m.2

Wd red sa500 sin duda esta optimizado para funcionar en un servidor o Nas lo instale en mi synology Ds718+ como unidad principal de almacenamiento y quedé sorprendido al pasar una copia de seguridad de 900 GB el sistema mostró una velocidad de escritura sostenida sobre los 450 Mb/s anteriormente tenía una unidad Samsung 860 Qvo y la escritura sostenida bajaba a 100 Mb/s después de los 40 GB puedo decir que es red sa500 es TLC mié tras que el Samsung es QLC

This will fit yoga 2 13

This was really easy to install. Yes, I am an IT guy and used other 3rd-party software to clone the smaller SSD to this larger, 1TB version. Took less than 30 minutes to do this! Gotta love living in 2020! :-D

Product made my slow desktop lightning fast.

I bought two of these to hold the network-facing shared folders in my recently set up Synology NAS. I installed each as a basic drive, ext4 file system. The shared folders are backed up to much cheaper HDD storage with periodically scheduled tasks. The ext4 file system allows the drives to be removed and accessed on my RHEL system in an emergency. With the extreme endurance rating of these 2TB drives (1300 TBW), I expect not to think about them for a very long time.

Popped this into my NVR for use with my home security camera system. Works great and a noticeable speed upgrade from the HDD i was running previously. Will probably pick up a few more and RAID them! Only downside is it doesnt come with mounting screws, but this isnt a huge deal.

The WD produce good fair products, what Yoo get and what You pay, in my opinion, their products are overpriced, I was thinking to buy the 4TB but almost 500$ each I then switch to 2TB. In the NAS this two HD will store the most frequent used files. but when You dont want to compromise reliability, especially if You use for a NAS, the price became the last of the priority. Its too short time to comment about durability, they are guarantee 5 years of 24/7 working time. I shall be allowed to comment about it after three years (at list). But in matter of actual performance the two pair SSD are doing their job, not much eat, remain about 35°C in an enviroment of 25°C. eating less than conventional HD. For a laptop or desk top, to replace a traditional mechanical HD, if Your data is important, this is expensive but worth to have. If You are not in hurry, I suggest You to wait to see 4TB price drop significantly when theyll introduce the 8TB SSD type.
