WD Red SN700

Sometimes you'll get a unit that's going to fail no matter what you do, and for most normal use cases you'll almost never reach even close to the manufacturer TBW spec before you replace them, or something else happens to them. I use WD Red SN700 NVMEs. They have 5100TBW according to specs, in pract

It’s about latency. For our use case, low latency is great. Somewhere on the order of below 300 us (micro-seconds) measured with ioping. My drives are below 150. This matters for attestations, and even more so for sync committees. A good drive that uses TLC and has DRAM is often not significantly mo

SSD cache is pretty useless unless you have a lot of users accessing many small files. There are a few YouTube videos on the topic, showing it makes barely any difference outside of that use case. You also don't really need an nvme drive at all since you're using SSD's as the main drives. And the 99

Isn't that quite good? The SN700 is an enterprise class drive that is built for areas with plenty of cooling, they're known to get quite hot. Here's a quote from a review on Serve The Home: The WD Red SN700 1TB runs hot, very hot. During my thermal test the drive reached 80C, at which point I was a

budget berapa? kalo dari price/tb, toshiba MG, <500k/TB new udah dpt seri enterprise. yg 20TB 8 jutaan. tapi garansinya gtw ya. ssd gue kemaren jg nyari, dapet kingston fury renegade 1TB 1000TBW 1,6jt. yg lebih gede tbwnya WD Red SN700 1TB 2000TBW tp kayaknya gak ada yg jual.

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

ok, here is some llm magic - sounds logical for me at least: Short answer: 1TB as read-only cache, 250GB as independent scratch volume Your 1 Gbps network is your actual bottleneck, not storage. This fundamentally changes what makes sense. Why your network matters more than you think Your IronWolf P

First of all, I gave up on ZFS for this very reason. First of all, ZFS itself does not cause write amplification. Wrong pool geometry (RAIDZ instead of mirror), changing volblocksize does. Maybe CoW a little bit (ZIL). But that is all negligible in a home setup. Home use here, so it is what it is. I

The NV3 often uses QLC flash, which has low durability and becomes noticeably slower after a few years. Get a better drive with TLC flash like the Patriot P320, Lexar NM620, or WD Red SN700.

Got some WD Red SN700 on my side because of their good TBW !
