WD Red SA500 2TB 2.5" SATA SSD

The WD Red SA500 is a 2TB solid-state drive specifically engineered for network-attached storage (NAS) environments that require continuous operation. Utilizing the standard 2.5-inch form factor and a SATA 6Gb/s interface, this drive integrates easily into most NAS enclosures and server setups. The internal architecture uses 3D NAND technology and prioritizes sustained performance and stability necessary for managing concurrent data streams and continuous 24/7 read/write cycles.

Performance metrics for this SATA III SSD include sequential data transfer rates up to 600 MB/s for both reading and writing operations. The drive supports key management protocols such as TRIM and ECC, ensuring optimized operation and data integrity maintenance over time. Endurance is rated highly for its class, achieving 1300 TBW, which suits it for demanding caching or primary high-load storage roles within an active network environment. Reliability is further reinforced by a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 2,000,000 hours.
