## Questions & Answers

**Q: I didnt see a endurance rating other then 5 year warranty.  whats the tbw? or workload rating?**
A: TBW is 2500 TBW for the 4TB model.

**Q: Since the red version is optimized for a nas, is there a problem if installed on a computer?**
A: No, not a problem.  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.
