The WD Red SA500 2TB slots in there as a caching tier, bringing NAS-rated solid state speed to an array that has run out of physical bays.

At roughly a quarter of an ounce and a standard 2280 length, it mounts flat to the board and leaves airflow and bay space untouched. Western Digital designs and tests the Red line for continuous operation, so caching, RAID membership, OLTP databases, multi-user file shares, photo rendering, and 4K and 8K video editing all sit inside its rated duty cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2TB on Western Digital 3D NAND:\u003c\/strong\u003e NAS-rated capacity in the compact M.2 2280 footprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1300 TBW endurance:\u003c\/strong\u003e built for the sustained write cycles an always-on array generates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequential throughput reaches 560 MB\/s read and 530 MB\/s write across the SATA III 6Gb\/s link.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95,000 read and 85,000 write IOPS:\u003c\/strong\u003e random performance that keeps multi-user shares and databases responsive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA five-year limited warranty covers the drive through years of continuous duty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Western Digital Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53572327768248,"sku":"WDS200T1R0B-68A4Z0","price":824.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9110\/4952\/files\/1082911910_240e9b9f-4bb4-4d36-aa89-5c526d30a090.jpg?v=1780989218","url":"https:\/\/islandelectricalsupply.com\/products\/wd-red-sa500-wds200t1r0b-2tb-m2-2280-nas-ssd","provider":"Island Electrical Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
