1. NAS speed are often limited by NAS CPU/RAM or Ethernet/WiFi network - unless you buy expensive high-end NAS and 10Gbps Ethernet to support SSD.
2. Storage speed is in Bytes. Network speed is in bits. Computer class said 1 Byte = 8 bits. The real world adds 25% for frame and ECC, so 1 Byte = 10 bits.
3. See the warranty for how long a storage device may last. Please replace it earlier if you care about your data, so you won't pay $1000+ for data recovery service later.
4. WD Red HDD has 3 years warranty. WD Gold HDD has 5 years warranty. If NAS enables auto unload or standby, HDD can last even longer, but the first file access after idle will be delayed.
5. WD Blue SSD upgraded warranty from 3 to 5 years, but I will replace it in 2-3 years. When HDD fails, most data are often recoverable. When SSD fails, all data are usually unrecoverable.

Will these be better than WD red Nas drives?
Previous 2 (WD red) failed in about 4 years.
Agreed. Blue is bottom of the barrel.
This is Sandisk 3D TLC with DRAM. Good and reliable.

The MX500 has dram though only like a quarter of what's expected at its size. Apparently only the 4tb is underprovisioned in that regard.
That's amazing! If you have that card linked with PayPal and check out with PayPal, they offer 12% back in points. If CapitalOne participates, you will receive 12% and 10% back as PayPal encourages "double-dipping".
I originally purchased the MX500 (have not opened it yet), but am thinking about sending it back and grabbing this. Still trying to decide…testing seems to indicate they have almost identical performance. On paper, the Crucial is $10 more, but after cash back from PP and my card (not CapitalOne), the difference is about $30 assuming the 5% rewards I earned on the Crucial.

Thank you for this thoughtful response.
Is NVME reliability better? Aka if I want to store family photos on a single drive at my parents whose which works as an offsite backup and the reliability is the most important factor. Which drive should I get?
