This NAS SSD can be used in the place of a regular SSD. I use these NAS SSD as boot drives in automation computers that run 24/7. Work flawlessly. **Q: Is it compatible with the synology ds-720+ nas as cache memory?** A: Yes, but speed is limited. This model is M.2 SATA, not NVMe. Cannot operate through onboard NVMe slots. Need SATA adaptor and install through conventional HDD slots with a maximum of 6 Gb/s speed. Likely only capable to work as read-only cache. **Q: Is it slc, mlc, tlc, or qlc? they are advertising it as a "nas ssd," it should be at least be mlc for that form of performance?** A: THE WD red SSD series is TLC. Note that a number of reliability studies have shown that TLC and MLC have similar reliability factors, and the WD drive has a large amount of sparing, which provides a very high write endurance, >700 TB for the 500 GB model. The WD SA series is designed for NAS caching, which has very high write ratios, but also works well as a normal drive or RAID drive. ## Frequently Bought Together - Western Digital 500GB WD Red SA500 NAS 3D NAND Internal SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm, Up to 560 MB/s - WDS500G1R0A - Western Digital 2TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD2002FFSX - Western Digital 500GB WD Red SN700 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive SSD for NAS Devices - Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 3,430 MB/s - WDS500G1R0C --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/172507533-500gb-wd-red-sa500-nas-3d-nand-internal-ssd-sata](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/172507533-500gb-wd-red-sa500-nas-3d-nand-internal-ssd-sata) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
