WD Red SN700 500GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD

The Western Digital WD Red SN700 is an NVMe solid-state drive specifically engineered for network-attached storage (NAS) systems and other high-intensity caching applications. This M.2 2280 drive operates over a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface, delivering sequential data transfer speeds up to 3430 MB/s for reads and 2600 MB/s for writes. Its architecture is optimized to handle the constant read/write cycles typical in 24/7 multi-user environments.

This 500 GB model utilizes TLC NAND flash and supports NVMe protocol version 1.4, providing low latency and high transaction throughput essential for virtualization and data aggregation. Designed for sustained operation within a NAS appliance, the drive maintains a robust endurance rating and integrates features like temperature monitoring and error correction code (ECC) to promote data integrity.

The compact form factor and efficient power management allow the SN700 to be installed easily into compatible NAS enclosures and standard PC motherboards requiring high performance storage. Its durability ensures reliable performance under load for demanding, high-throughput storage tasks.
