So long Crucial... thanks for the fishes

Depends on the workload; we don't have a lot of workloads left that call for 2.5" SATA, but (as a business) we'll pay extra now for Kingston DC600 and Solidigm (Intel) D3-series. For actual consumer, WD Blue SA510 is generally okay unless we stumble on an infrequent sale with the WD RED SA500.

Storage help

Yes, then this is the relevant video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHNIrmMgE5s You can see on 2:10 to 2:14 that the drive is removed. You need to buy a larger M.2 SATA drive and replace it. One like this: https://www.amazon.com/Red-SA500-NAS-NAND-Internal/dp/B07YFGXPQ2 . It needs to be SATA, not

where do i download firmware for a wd850x drive? i can not find anything on the support page...........

If you know that that specific upgrade affects your specific drive and that a firmware upgrade solves the problem, then do so. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. Ask Woody is a good resource for this. It mentions that upgrade, but only that it affects WD Blue SA510 2TB SATA drives. And it only seems to b

Budget SSD választás home-made NAS-hoz?

Saját tapasztalat: 2,5 éve vettem 2 db 1TB-s WD Blue SA510-et. Akciós volt. Nem, nem az emagon, hanem az Aqua-ban :) Az egyik 1 év múlva bedöglött, gariban kicserélték. Azóta megy napi szinten. A másikkal semmi gond nem volt. Mennek rendesen, a HD Sentinel szerint mind a kettő 100% állapotú.1 dolog
