    Intended for RAID, not for use as single.

    Please be aware that the Western Digital SA500 Red SSD is one of the very few non Enterprise SSDs that supports DRAT and HZAT that will allow trim to work properly behind a LSI SAS HBA. Search for ID: 1211161496937 or TRIM support for LSI HBAs and RAID controllers in the Broadcom knowledge base. Purchased six 2TB 2.5 drives and put them in a ZFS RAIDZ2 pool in a Supermicro chassis that supports 36 SAS/SATA drives behind a LSI 9300-8i SAS HBA controller. System was running Devuan (Debian) with kernel 4.9. Experienced issues with the drives being kicked out on a nightly basis. Upgraded the LSI 9300-8i controller to the latest BIOS and firmware. Drives where a lot more stable but they would still occasionally be kicked out once a week. Upgraded Devuan to the latest version which runs kernel 4.19 and still experienced the same issues. Only by running the back ported 5.4 kernel did problems go away and system has been stable for the last month. Performance is excellent and what you would expect a six drive RAIDZ2 (RAID6) with 32GB of ARC.. Overall Im happy, but it was a trying time getting to this point. Western Digital support was fairly poor. Essentially they said to contact the controller vendor to see if they can fix the problem. Broadcom (they bought LSI) was helpful but they did not provide the solution to the problem.

    Great price for a server NAS drive or for everyday use. This a better purchase than Samsung drives right now. I need to buy a couple more. I have found these drives work on Windows, Mac, and Linux. In linux use gparted to install the formatting software by: sudo apt install gparted Great drive. Buy a bunch.

    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.

    This WD Red SSD 1TB has been running great in my Ubiquiti UDM-Pro for several months now. Its been handling my five cameras quite well, and scrubbing through footage is bufferless. Im very pleased with it.

    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.
