Description
Supercharge your NAS
Boost your NAS system’s performance and responsiveness with the WD Red™ SA500 NAS SATA SSD. Since your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is essential. Unlike standard SSDs, WD Red NAS SATA SSDs are specifically designed and tested for 24/7 usage. This durability together with efficient caching of big files make these drives ideal for OLTP databases, multi-user environments, photo rendering, 4k and 8k video editing and other demanding applications. With 2.5” and M.2 form factors and capacities from 500GB up to 4TB1 (2.5” only), the WD Red SA500 NAS SATA SSD lets you optimize your existing or next NAS system for superior performance and endurance.

The Drive For NAS
Speed
Optimized for caching in NAS systems to rapidly access your most frequently used content
Endurance
For tough workloads demanded by NAS, giving you the reliability you need in a 24/7 environment
Flexible
Available in 2.5” and M.2 form factors so you can upgrade your existing NAS system or design a new one from scratch
FirestormLite 2.5” 7mm SSDs enhance performance and increase your machine's speed. With ultra-fast boot times, quicker application load times, and lower power consumption, FirestormLite technology instantly improves your device's reliability. Fast, Cost-Effective Storage With speeds up to four times faster than Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are currently the fastest and most cost-effective form of storage available. They provide your system with a massive boost in application, OS load times, data transfer, and overall system responsiveness. Higher Intensity from Less Power Unlike traditional HDDs, SSDs have no moving parts; their lightning speed comes from flash memory chips. This makes them more reliable, smaller, lighter, and less power-hungry than HDDs. An Upgrade to Fit Every Device FirestormLite SSDs are available in multiple form factors and capacities of up to 2TB. They are ideal for use in a range of devices, including PCs, Laptops, Tablets, Smartphones, Digital Music Players, and Cameras. Need help finding the perfect match for your device? FirestormLite SSDs can be matched to your machine as an OEM-compatible solution. Simply click the Hypertec Configurator link and search for your device by brand and model. Contact your Hypertec Account Manager today for more information about FirestormLite SSDs or to learn how we can help you.
The SU800 solid state drive lives up to its Ultimate name with 3D NAND Flash that provides higher storage density, efficiency, and reliability than traditional 2D NAND. It features intelligent SLC caching and a DRAM cache buffer to boost read/write performance even further. Featuring LDPC ECC and technologies such as high TBW (total bytes written) and DEVSLP (Device Sleep), the Ultimate SU800 instantly upgrades notebook and desktop PCs with superior stability, durability, and power efficiency. In addition, users can download ADATA in-house developed SSD Toolbox and Migration Utility software for free to enjoy easy data management and migration.

New generation 3D NAND Flash
Implementing advanced 3D NAND Flash, the Ultimate SU800 features bigger storage capacities, higher efficiency, and rugged reliability with better cost-performance ratios than ever. The Ultimate SU800 reaches read/write speeds of 560MB/s and 520MB/s to accelerate PCs.

Wide Capacity Range And High TBW
Thanks to the flexibility of 3D NAND, we can offer the Ultimate SU800 in diverse capacities, ranging from 128GB to 1TB. You get more choice for different needs, whether for an OS boot drive or a mass storage drive. All Ultimate SU800 models provide high TBW (Total Bytes Written), meaning the number of times an SSD can write its entire capacity in one lifespan. The Ultimate SU800’s TBW rating outranks comparable models, indicating a longer-lasting SSD.

Intelligent SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer
The intelligent SLC caching algorithm allows NAND Flash memory to operate in single-level cell mode and boosts read/write performance. In addition, with the support of DRAM Cache Buffer, read/write performance can be as much as double that of solid state drives that lack a DRAM cache, or in other words that can't use system memory as an SSD buffer for high intensity tasks.

Advanced LDPC ECC Engine
Low density parity check error correcting code has been implemented on the Ultimate SU800, leading to a massive reduction in data errors and an equal increase in data integrity. It therefore protects your valuable content against corruption to a much greater extent than non-ECC SSDs or even SSDs that use basic BCH error correction.

RAID Engine and Data Shaping for Ultimate Protection
By supporting RAID Engine and Data Shaping, the Ultimate SU800 ensures data integrity and delivers extended SSD lifespan for better, longer-lasting stability and return on investment.

Outperforms HDDs with Massive Performance Gain
Utilizing high quality materials and advanced technologies, the Ultimate SU800 outperforms traditional HDDs by a huge factor, with particular benefits in boot up and seek time, as well as overall much faster read/write throughput.

Lower Power Consumption, Longer Battery Life
The Ultimate SU800 supports DEVSLP (Device Sleep) technology for better energy efficiency. This results in lower electricity costs and prolonged battery life. Compared to traditional HDDs, the Ultimate SU800 consumes just 8% of the power while in idle mode, and 80% less power during regular operation. For users who often travel or go on business trips, the Ultimate SU800 is a great partner with high mobility and power-saving abilities that go easy on notebook batteries.

Proprietary Software - SSD Toolbox and Migration Utility
Every Ultimate SU800 purchase qualifies for free downloads of ADATA SSD Toolbox and Migration Utility. SSD Toolbox allows users to monitor and manage the Ultimate SU800, with drive status, wear level, and lifespan information. Data migration utilities are especially helpful for users making the move from HDD to SSD, as they are designed for simple and quick backup and migration of the contents of entire drives, including the operating system.

For Notebooks and Desktops
Just 7mm thick, the Ultimate SU800 is an easy fit in ultrabooks. A 2.5mm spacer is bundled for use in 9.5mm disk bays, allowing compatibility with virtually every notebook and desktop.
