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.

good

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

Lo estoy usando como disco de cache para edicion en 4k y funciona perfectamente lo recomiendo 100%

Gran producto de calidad increíble y al mejor precio

Wd red sa500 sin duda esta optimizado para funcionar en un servidor o Nas lo instale en mi synology Ds718+ como unidad principal de almacenamiento y quedé sorprendido al pasar una copia de seguridad de 900 GB el sistema mostró una velocidad de escritura sostenida sobre los 450 Mb/s anteriormente tenía una unidad Samsung 860 Qvo y la escritura sostenida bajaba a 100 Mb/s después de los 40 GB puedo decir que es red sa500 es TLC mié tras que el Samsung es QLC

**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.

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.

Good value

It was time to upgrade my ancient Dell 690 workstation to a faster and long-lasting SSD. It did improve boot time and access time by a factor of 3. I intentionally bought the WD red version that is durable enough to be used in a server, and I am considering of having a SSD based external backup drive. If not already installed, be sure to buy adapter kits to mount in HHD cages, or in my case to mount to slide-in cassettes used in the Dell 690.
