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

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.

Got two of these for dual boot drives for a TrueNAS server.

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

Exactly what you would expect from a WD nvme drive. Hoping the red line has great always on longevity as this is now the OS drive in a home server.

good

Intended for RAID, not for use as single.

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.

Noticeably fast than my older drive. I need more more next raid build!

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.
