SanDisk NAS 800 NVMe SSD offers high endurance and performance for NAS applications
Key points
- SanDisk released the NAS 800 NVMe SSD.
- It features high endurance and sustained write performance.
- Capacities range from 960GB to 7.68TB.
- The drive supports TCG Opal self-encryption.
Product Overview
SanDisk introduced the NAS 800, an NVMe SSD specifically designed for Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems. While optimized for NAS, it is also suitable for high-end desktop and enthusiast workstation use. This release follows other recent SanDisk SSDs, including the Optimus GX Pro 850P for consumer markets and a reintroduction of SATA SSDs.
Technical Foundation and Optimizations
The NAS 800 is built upon the SanDisk Optimus GX Pro 8100 (formerly WD Black SN8100), a high-performing drive. For its NAS application, the 800 series incorporates specific optimizations, primarily increased overprovisioning. This design choice enhances the drive's endurance, which is crucial for continuous operation in server environments.
Specifications and Performance
The NAS 800 is available in capacities of 960GB, 1.92TB, 3.84TB, and 7.68TB. It delivers sequential read/write speeds up to 14,900 MB/s and 13,200 MB/s, respectively, with random read/write IOPS reaching 2,300K and 2,100K. The 3.84TB model is expected to achieve peak overall performance. A key feature is its high write endurance, rated up to 14PBW at maximum capacity, which is nearly three times that of typical consumer drives. The drive also includes TCG Opal self-encryption.
Market Positioning
The NAS 800 is positioned as a premium option, similar to the WD Red series of drives, which are optimized for home and small-business servers. Its primary drawback is its higher price point compared to standard consumer SSDs, reflecting the specialized optimizations for endurance and sustained performance.
