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

It was time to upgrade my ancient Dell 690 workstation to a faster and long-lasting SSD. It did improve boot time and access time by a factor of 3. I intentionally bought the WD red version that is durable enough to be used in a server, and I am considering of having a SSD based external backup drive. If not already installed, be sure to buy adapter kits to mount in HHD cages, or in my case to mount to slide-in cassettes used in the Dell 690.

Im not an IT tech, just an average joe that does video editing on the side. I bought the Western Digital Red SSD because I needed a fast, robust drive, and boy does this baby deliver! The bootup time on my old standard hard drive was just over 3 minutes. After installing and cloning the SSD, my computer booted up to the start screen in 20 seconds flat! 4K video used to lag painfully slow on my old hard drive, but 4K native clips now scroll by (in multiple layers!) like it was nothing! Definitely a worthwhile investment, especially now that prices on SSD hard drives have come down considerably. Also, Ive never had a WD drive crash on me and I anticipate this drive will serve me dependably as well.

Greatly increased the speed on my Synology NAS. My old mechanical drives were killing me with the random read/write speeds. These have greatly reduced the amount of time backing of files and pulling files back from it.

Lo estoy usando como disco de cache para edicion en 4k y funciona perfectamente lo recomiendo 100%

Works good, no problems.

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

Great NAS SSDs which work perfectly in my Synology 1621xs+ NAS.

Amazon and Western Digital will only warranty for 30 days. I received 5 units and 2 of them didnt work and they wont replace because it was 35 days before we tried to use them. The package was melted.
