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 have two of these one in in my security camera DVR and one in my freenas for jails and virtual machines. So far so good.

the product not contains the screws

The disk is used as the second disk in the system (laptop) as information storage.

Does the job, time will say if it deserve its RED name. Just Works

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.

Please be aware that the Western Digital SA500 Red SSD is one of the very few non Enterprise SSDs that supports DRAT and HZAT that will allow trim to work properly behind a LSI SAS HBA. Search for ID: 1211161496937 or TRIM support for LSI HBAs and RAID controllers in the Broadcom knowledge base. Purchased six 2TB 2.5 drives and put them in a ZFS RAIDZ2 pool in a Supermicro chassis that supports 36 SAS/SATA drives behind a LSI 9300-8i SAS HBA controller. System was running Devuan (Debian) with kernel 4.9. Experienced issues with the drives being kicked out on a nightly basis. Upgraded the LSI 9300-8i controller to the latest BIOS and firmware. Drives where a lot more stable but they would still occasionally be kicked out once a week. Upgraded Devuan to the latest version which runs kernel 4.19 and still experienced the same issues. Only by running the back ported 5.4 kernel did problems go away and system has been stable for the last month. Performance is excellent and what you would expect a six drive RAIDZ2 (RAID6) with 32GB of ARC.. Overall Im happy, but it was a trying time getting to this point. Western Digital support was fairly poor. Essentially they said to contact the controller vendor to see if they can fix the problem. Broadcom (they bought LSI) was helpful but they did not provide the solution to the problem.

Buen producto y rendimiento

Súper fast.

Super fast we are not using it for gaming. We are a large format printing company that handles huge files and shouldve bought them before.

Fake m.2 from WD. Just dont bother with any wd product I guess
