WD Red SN700

In my small mini pc, I use a WD Red SN700 (500GB) as my OS drive and a Sabrent Rocket 4 2TB as my VM drive. I formatted the OS drive to be EXT4/LVM-Thin and the VM drive to be ZFS. This turned out to be a perfect solution for my needs. Proxmox does extensive logging so the wear is reduced by using t

What drive? This has been happening with WD SN700 drives for years, lots of reports of the drive suddenly disconnecting, suspected unfixed firmware issue. Seems to happen only with Linux. Drives are healthy. Not all drives are affected. Just reseating solved the problem for me at first, but around a

980, 990 pro? No. Something suitable for NAS use, like the WD Red SN700 + heatsink.

A WD Red SN700 would suffice, PLP drives don't always work in these low cost minis, as it require more AMPS, maybe the slot wouldn't provide enough. Even SN700 is rated 2.8A and may have problems if the slot is low quality, I had these problems with NUCXi7 from Minisforum and Chuwi RZBOX, only worke

For your Minisforum UM890 Pro, the ideal two-NVMe combo is: Slot 1 (VMs/Datastore): A high-performance, high-endurance drive like the WD SN850X. Slot 2 (Proxmox OS): A reliable, but more budget-friendly drive like the WD Red SN700 or a similar-class consumer drive. This setup balances performance wh

WD Red SN700 2TB should be around that price. It's NAS oriented drive, made for 24/7 operation and has an endurance of 2500 TBW. Kingston KC3000 2TB has endurance of 1600 TBW. WD SN7100 2TB has endurance of 1200 TBW. I know Red is gen3, but it should still be more than enough for a VM. Unless you ne

One thought- the WD red sn700 is an excellent choice as a Nas nvme. It is definitely a good choice for caching. If your intention is to store the music and photos on the nvme itself, which I assume is the last option with the two TB nvme, and you aren't writing to it very much once you do the initia

Hey. Thanks for your reply. I think I solved it. I removed the m.2 nvme SSD I was using as a boot drive (running Openmediavault) and cloned it to a different one. The original SSD was a WD RED SN700 500GB m.2 nvme. I cloned that to a WD Blue SN550 500GB NVME SSD. So far everything is working great a

should you get 2? you should know that if a single slog device stops working your pool will not be accessible if you just use the truenas ui, at least with truenas core this is my experience. with the command line you can achieve that you can access the pool again. this can be stressful depending on

All fixed - I contacted Asustor who were very helpful. They remoted in, used PuTTY to access my NAS and rebuild/remounted the raid5 M.2 SSDs. all fixed and working well however, the tech support said "Since WD's Red SN700 M.2 SSDs have compatible issues with Asustor AS67 and FS67 models, please repl
