    Will these be ok for surveillance? My magnetic drives are noisy

    • galtaforce on 14/12/2020 - 17:11

      SSDs aren’t great for surveillance as they will quickly reach their endurance limit. They only have a limited number of total terabytes written.

      • Clear on 14/12/2020 - 17:18

        Unless you pay more for a NAS SSD that would be more suitable.

      • stedyedy on 14/12/2020 - 20:10

        what dose that mean endurance limit? i wanna use mine for recording my desktop. so a lot of writing to sdd

        • brimmy11 on 14/12/2020 - 21:23

          SSD's have a life expectancy measure in amount of data written, therefore heavy writing workloads are not suitable for SSD's.

        • digitalaxon on 14/12/2020 - 22:09

          Endurance is how many times the cells that make up a ssd can have data written before they are unable to accurately read back the data. Depending on the flash type and manufacturer the durability can vary.The WD Green 1Tb I think is around 320Tb, before WD will no longer warranty it. Samsung EVO 860's 1Tb are 600Tb.. Most reputable manufacturers will clearly show the durability expressed as TBW (Terabytes Written). The higher, the better.

          Just did a youtube search and this video seems not too bad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTknyr4WYEw that goes into it in more detail.

        Endurance is not a real concern, very likely the drive will last much longer than the claimed limit (the larger the better):

      I wouldn’t be using SSD’s for surveillance, only for value. 1tb isn’t going to get you very long of recording time (well… depends on how many cameras and quality of stream etc), but you would be better looking at mechanical drives.

      I got some nice hgst Deskstars, you want some noice? They’ll give you noise! But they have been running 24/7 for the past 4 years and not missed a beat.

    • stephendt on 14/12/2020 - 18:51

      Not really. Why not just deal with the other noise in other ways? Hard drives are not THAT noisy… and if they are, they are probably dying.

    • Gorian4 on 14/12/2020 - 19:14

      NAS SSD's can easily get into the $1K+ territory,

      I'd recommend sticking with the HDD's and putting the storage unit somewhere away from the rooms you spend the most time in.

      But if money isn't an issue, go all out

  • astroboy38 on 14/12/2020 - 16:59

    Are SSD recommended for NAS? Are the WD green appropriate or blue/red better fit for the NAS?

    • Slippage on 14/12/2020 - 17:20

      RED are WD’s NAS drives.

      But the whole point of an NAS is storage, 1TB is tiny for a NAS drive

      • astroboy38 on 14/12/2020 - 21:41

        Yeah it's mainly used as local backup of my photo collection, so 1tb is plenty for my needs. I've got the Synology ds210j from 10 yrs ago… HDD still going strong, but to be honest, it's very lightly used. I'm just thinking sdd has no moving parts, so should be more reliable than HDD. Also thinking mixing HDD and sdd but hear it's not a good idea to mix and match HDD with sdd.

        • Slippage on 14/12/2020 - 22:15

          Honestly, if 1tb will suffice, consider online storage. One drive is ~$99/year for 1TB and you don’t need to worry about drive failures

    • fastnet on 14/12/2020 - 17:20

      Yes, WD has 2.5" and M.2 SATA NAS specific SSDs. WD Red SA500

      • astroboy38 on 14/12/2020 - 23:09

        Hmmm… The reds are double the price of green… Difficult to justify price for my purposes.

    • Agret on 14/12/2020 - 17:32

      Yeah they are okay to use as hot cache for a NAS. The main raid would still be on hdds though.

    • krayl on 14/12/2020 - 20:04

      What about NAS swap drive? Is this a good choice for that purpose?

    A cheap m.2 nvme SSD with 1TB will cost around $130-140, but will significantly speed gain(3 - 4 times). I am wondering why people still are choose SATA SSD. BTW for PC users, if u don't have a m.2 slot on your motherboard, you can buy a m.2 to pcie3.0 adptor for around $15 with exactly the same speed.

    • bargainshooter on 14/12/2020 - 17:10

      Can I use 4 x m.2 nvme 1tb ssds in a raid 0 config? That's what I have now with standard ssds.

      • stephendt on 14/12/2020 - 18:55

        Yes, this is easily possible.

    • Ohreally on 14/12/2020 - 17:13

      Is there an enclosure which will help in preventing excess heat? Definitely nvme is faster and smaller. But I ordered a T7 yesterday instead of nvme purely because of heat issues …

    • randmness on 14/12/2020 - 17:22

      This is geared towards older hardware and/or cheap ssd storage. Not everyone will appreciate the difference between sata3 and nvme, nor want to tinker with adapters and bios etc to get nvme working as a boot drive on older machines without m.2. Also factoring in the adapter cost, $35 more expensive which is sizeable.

      Dram-less bottom of the barrel ssd with cheaper nand, I wouldn't use in continual write scenarios like surveillance, NAS is also not great due to nand quality. But for cheap silent faster storage of your steam library? I'd rate this

    • Daffan on 15/12/2020 - 12:51

      how do you fit multiple m2 ssd on a cheap mobo

      • Gorian4 on 14/12/2020 - 21:08

        I'd rather pay $100 more than get a DRAM-less 1TB SSD

        • miarn on 15/12/2020 - 09:16

          Good for you. That doesn't make this a non-bargain.

          For a game drive this is a great option, the difference between this and an nvme done isn't going to be particularly noticeable.

      • boxall on 15/12/2020 - 12:13

        Not when the game code is sold.

    well I recently upgraded a laptop with a WD Green SSD and I understood that write endurance matters and this is probably not so great..better options are WD blue, Crucial which are all probably only slightly higher priced….

    note - even I"m new and learning that SSDs have only a maximum number of writes and if you're looking for a budget one, then go for WD green 240 or 480 GB, but for 1 TB, I will look at something better

    • DmytroP on 15/12/2020 - 08:08

      For the normal laptop usage, you are unlikely to approach the write limit, especially for 1TB drives.

  • T1OOO on 15/12/2020 - 09:04

    The first ever intel 80gb x25 I got for $850 in 2010 still going strong. Wouldn’t worry bout endurance limits.

  • ArtlessArt on 18/12/2020 - 16:47

    How long is shipping time from Amazon US?

  • ddhar on 22/12/2020 - 18:09

    Looking to upgrade a 7-year-old Lenovo (Z400). Is the WD Green suitable for this purpose or should I jump to a Samsung Evo 860 instead?

    The laptop takes forever to just start-up, no thanks to its 5400rpm HDD and 4GB RAM.

    • lachhelix on 22/12/2020 - 18:13

      Either will be a billion times better, but if it were a boot drive, I'd go the Samsung.
      In saying that, I use a WD Green as a boot disk in a couple of barely used laptops and they are still miles ahead of a HDD

      • ddhar on 22/12/2020 - 18:18

        Thanks. I'm not looking to spend too much so it's either the WD Green 1TB or Samsung evo 860 500GB. I suppose the Samsung is what I should go for then.
