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

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

Excelente producto muy rápido buena calidad y capacidad de almacenamiento

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

Plug and play. Using in a robust custom built computer running just Windows 10. Hosting movies to run on Plex server and streaming has been fast and flawless.

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

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.

Works great

Worked as advertise still working

Im using this as a boot/metadata drive for a home Plex media server in a Shuttle micro PC. Its been running cool and reliably 24/7 for about a month with no issues.

WD Reds are made for Network Array Storage solutions (in other words, ones that plug into your wireless router), so they are meant to be specifically fast under high loads. This is an interesting form factor as the M2 emphasizes compactness over mass use. There are a couple of routers out there that accept M2s natively (almost all introduced in the last year), but there are easy M2 to SATA adapters out there. Using one, I hooked this drive up to my router and then made it a media center with multiple devices accessing the drive for media transmission over the wireless. Because this is manufactured to be in a NAS, this drive takes parallel reading thread load very well, and I could stream data for four devices at 4k stream loads without any degradation from the wireless or extensive caching on my devices. The read and writes were at 90% of the advertised features if parallel, in opposition (so one device reads and another one writes), this drops to 40% of the read theoretical maximum and 50% of the write maximum, so there is still some work that can be done on these drives for queue efficiency, but I think this is more a firmware concern than a hardware limitation. While you can use this directly in your devices, this would be overkill and the Blue or Green would probably be better for most systems at better pricing. As a standard drive though, this is more comparable to WDs Black series in terms of throughput. I highly recommend this drive if you do have an M2 native NAS device or if you are willing to put in the SATA adapter. This drive will perform very well under major thread load.
