Sandisk NAS 800 1.92TB SSD Review: Endurance at a premium
The Sandisk NAS 800 is a high-end PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD built for NAS workloads, with high endurance, strong sustained write performance, and low 4KB random latency. It’s mainly held back by its high price.
Sandisk has released a new SSD, the NAS 800, designed for NAS appliances but also suitable for high-end desktops and workstations. This drive is a specialized version of the Optimus GX Pro 8100, known for its stellar controller and excellent flash performance. The NAS 800 comes in four capacities: 960GB, 1.92TB, 3.84TB, and 7.68TB.
It features a PCIe 5.0 x4 / NVMe 2.0 interface and uses Sandisk TLC 3D CBA NAND flash memory. The drive has impressive write endurance, rated up to 14PBW at its maximum capacity, which is almost three times the normal endurance for consumer drives. It supports TCG Opal self-encryption and comes with a standard five-year warranty.
The NAS 800's price is higher than its competitors, but the premium is justified by its exceptional endurance and performance.
