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 bought two of these to hold the network-facing shared folders in my recently set up Synology NAS. I installed each as a basic drive, ext4 file system. The shared folders are backed up to much cheaper HDD storage with periodically scheduled tasks. The ext4 file system allows the drives to be removed and accessed on my RHEL system in an emergency. With the extreme endurance rating of these 2TB drives (1300 TBW), I expect not to think about them for a very long time.

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.

2 of these are in my qnap NAS .

I run Unraid Server with a single cache driver. My old 240GB SSD was not cutting it anymore and this 500GB NAS SSD fits the bill. I run my Docker images off the cache SSD and the server is on 24/7, so there is a decent amount of write/read activity on the cache SSD. Based on WDs claims and some real world reviews, this SSD should hold up in to my use case.

Nice but took long time to be shipped , maybe due to covid-19

Great NAS SSDs which work perfectly in my Synology 1621xs+ NAS.

Rebuilt our computer with space for a lifetime and at a reasonable price.

good

Good value

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.
