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

2tb SATA M2. It works I cant complain

SSD de gran rendimiento. El envío llego a tiempo y sin problemas

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

I tested it a number of different ways, and it was at about 2/3rds of the speed expected.

I have to buy another drive. Its kept failing and freezing my server. Had to buy a new one

**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.

Was very easy to install and clone my old drive. Have had for about 1 month and no problems.

We added this Western Digital (WD) Network Attached Storage (NAS) to our Print Server....”YES”

Intended for RAID, not for use as single.

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
