WD Red SN700

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

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

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

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

(Please note on the below i incorrectly said mp34 initially, and later updated to mp44 after replies from others and not9c9ng my mistake) Thank you for the reply! I had 6 teamgroup mp44 first but they had erratic performance between them (3 different circuit boards for same part#, 2 ran 110% hotter

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

Thanks for the workaround, and guess what, I'm also using WD Red SN700 4TB NVMe drives... Seems like there is an issue with these because I also saw some discussion of similar issues with these drives and the older Gen 1 FlashStor units!I'm actually doing an experiment with the NAS now where I am re

Yeah, it's unfortunate. I picked the Samsung 990 Pro 4TB as a possible alternative because it is listed on the Asustor NVMe compatability page as working with the FS68 NAS: https://www.asustor.com/en/service/m2ssd?id=m2ssdI note the WD Red SN700 is not in this list - I foolishly didn't check at the
