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

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

**Please note that the picture of the speed test is done in an external enclosure over USB 3.0 and doesnt reflect what speeds you would see if it was directly mounted in your pc or laptop** Unfortunately I dont have a NAS to test this out on, so I decided to use it for an External drive for all my video and drone footage, where I am constantly transferring 1gb-4gb files and being that its a NAS drive, editing straight off the drive shouldnt be a problem. Which it isnt, I sometimes hit a small bit of lag but for the most part its been a breeze. Now, when I am home I just offload to my workstation so there is no problem there. When transferring all my files at once I usually see about 250-275MB/s while transferring a mixed load. As far as temperatures go, I dont really get much of an increase on single files, but I transferred a 10gb file back and forth about 5 times and seen an increase of about 10c. Overall I am pleased with the drive. Its no NVME, but it also doesnt carry the price of one either. WD has been a trusted name in the industry for decades now and I have no doubt that this drive will hold up over time. Just make sure to keep the temperatures down. Side Note: If you use this in an external enclosure I dont think I would go with a metal cased one, unless its heatsinked. While testing I noticed even after the tests were done the temperature of the drive was still elevated in the software. So I touched the enclosure and sure enough it was still pretty warm. When I opened the case and felt the drive, it was cool to the touch. I believe that because the case is metal, it absorbed all the heat but wasnt dissipating it, heating the air inside and keeping the temperature reading higher than it really was.

Súper fast.

Este disco ya que diseñado para trabajar en servidores lleva más de 12 meses trabajando 24/7 sin descansar y a funcionado perfectamente lo recomiendo

This drive died just a few months after I installed it. Fortunately, I kept a second boot drive so it was relatively easy to recover, but the sudden, quick collapse of this drive renders it, in my estimation, useless.

Running this as a stand alone share in my QNAP NAS for my music library. No issues what do ever.

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.

Needed more storage for my Mac mini and it’s great.

Pedí esta memoría luego de darme cuenta que mi laptop tenía una ranura para SSD. El hecho es que según soporte solo podía ponerle 256, según un amigo que también es soporte de otro lado, podía aguantar más. La recomendación es ver si tienen si la maquina tiene el tornillo para esta tarjeta, es uno pequeño, en el caso de ASUS, no lo incluye (craso error), tampoco viene incluido en el disco, recomendaría que si alguien va a comprar esta ssd, también pida los tornillos de ser posible. Volviendo al tema, la conecte y en el administrador de dispositivos aparecía, pero no la unidad, probablemente para los que somos empiricos (y no técnicos) de computadores, se nos haga un mundo el pensar que no funciona con tu pc. Lo que se hace es inicializar el disco en el panel de control, en caso de que quieras instalar windows ahí GPT. Luego de eso, sabrás que la corta espera y pedir este disco ssd es la mejor inversión que habrás hecho en buen tiempo. Para ser mi primera compra, me ha ido genial.

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.
