500GB NVMe SSD for NAS caching

The SanDisk WD Red SN700 is a 500GB internal solid-state drive built for network-attached storage. It uses an M.2 2280 form factor and connects through a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface. The drive targets small-business and enthusiast NAS appliances that need fast caching tiers.

Suits multi-user NAS workloads.

This SSD suits environments running virtualization, collaborative editing or heavy multi-user file access where high random I/O matters. It is less appropriate for a single-user desktop boot drive where sustained write endurance and NAS-specific firmware validation are not required.

M.2 2280 slot with PCIe 3.0 x4; frees 2.5-inch bays

Installation requires an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 and operates between 0°C and 70°C. Idle power draw is 70 mW. The compact stick layout frees traditional 2.5-inch drive bays for additional mechanical storage capacity.

Questions about this item

What M.2 slot key and PCIe generation does my motherboard need for this WDS500G1R0C-68BDK0 drive?

The drive uses an M.2 2280 form factor with a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface, so the slot must support that key and generation.

Will this 500GB NVMe SSD work in a NAS that currently runs SATA SSDs?

Yes, it is purpose-built and tested for popular NAS systems and delivers higher I/O performance than SATA SSDs.

How can I confirm the drive is delivering its rated sequential speeds after installation?

Run a sequential read/write benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark and check that results approach 3430 MBps read and 2600 MBps write.
