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

Bough this to replace a Seagate SSD that failed after 14 days. Performance is great lets see how long it last.

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

Does the job, time will say if it deserve its RED name. Just Works

working fine for monument 2, sata 3 (not nvme) m.2 storage. -1 star for value for money vs. nvme m.2

I bought these drive for my Synology NAS and these drives are compatible with Synology. Easy to install and always preferred WD over the other brands.

Bought 4 drives in August of 2020 for RAID10. Using LSI RAID controller. Today March 4th, 2021 one drive failed with tons of CRC errors, and the LSI controller unable to fix it or rebuild. It is not the port, because I replaced it with another drive and the port is working properly. I am losing faith in WD. First, they lied about SMR vs CMR drives, now they sell SSD, which are not capable to live even for a year. Also bought their EasyStore 240 GB drive at BestBuy, and it failed in less than a month. WD makes garbage drives.

The WD produce good fair products, what Yoo get and what You pay, in my opinion, their products are overpriced, I was thinking to buy the 4TB but almost 500$ each I then switch to 2TB. In the NAS this two HD will store the most frequent used files. but when You dont want to compromise reliability, especially if You use for a NAS, the price became the last of the priority. Its too short time to comment about durability, they are guarantee 5 years of 24/7 working time. I shall be allowed to comment about it after three years (at list). But in matter of actual performance the two pair SSD are doing their job, not much eat, remain about 35°C in an enviroment of 25°C. eating less than conventional HD. For a laptop or desk top, to replace a traditional mechanical HD, if Your data is important, this is expensive but worth to have. If You are not in hurry, I suggest You to wait to see 4TB price drop significantly when theyll introduce the 8TB SSD type.

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.

Los reconocio el Qnap y se configuraron de forma facil, el equipo funciona perfectamente y mejoro mucho su velocidad

Cost a bit but it works
