Many people, rather than capacity, are looking for them to last as long as possible and Wester Digital has launched storage units that offer that and much more. So if you are looking for an NVMe SSD with great durability the WD Red SN700 is your solution.
This is the new range that Wester Digital has just announced for both personal use and for data center or NAS. The WD Red SN700s are available in 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities.
They have a PCI-Express 3.0 interface connectivity and a performance that will depend on the model we choose, but do not worry that we will leave you all the details at the end of the news.
To give you an idea, the model of 250 GB it gives us sequential read speeds of up to 3100 MB / s and 1600 MB / s writes with a durability of 500 TB writes; On the other hand the model of 512 GB We will see how its performance increases slightly to 3430 MB / s of sequential reading and writing to 2600 MB / s of writing with a durability of 1000 TB written.
Moving on to the model 1 TB, This has 3430 MB / s of sequential reading and writing up to 3000 MB / s of writing with a durability of 2000 TB writes. The 2TB model we see how its sequential reading speed is 3,400 MB / s and writing up to 2,900 MB / s with 2,500 TB written. And the TOP 4TB model has 3400 MB / s sequential read and write up to 3100 MB / s write with a durability of 5100 TB writes.
This powerful new drive is designed to support 24/7 NAS environments and always-on applications, reaching new levels of reliability and ruggedness. Fast system responsiveness and I / O performance are perfect for multi-user and multi-application environments.
In this way it allows SMEs to manage their most complex projects, from virtualization to collaborative editing and intensive database storage. Its slim design is made to fit snugly into the M.2 NVMe slot found in many leading NAS servers.
QNAP’s Director of Sales and Marketing said the following words:
NVMe technology is now much more comprehensive for QNAP solutions, and most of our RAID models support M.2 SSD caching as standard
