WD Red SN700 SSD

The WD Red SN700 is an unexciting PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive, but its lackluster performance is backed by consistency and solid performance in sustained workloads, making it attractive for NAS and even general users. This drive should be of interest to anyone at 4TB, but is particularly well-suited for small business NAS usage.
