This M2 memory is insanely fast. Never had a sys boot as quick as it does with this memory product.

This card was easy to install and set up and has worked flawlessly for the past few weeks in a Synology NAS DS 1817+. It speeds up downloads and uploads of large files of photographs that I enjoy working with.

I recently purchased a Synology DS920+ and was intrigued by the prospects of being able to install an M.2 2280 SSD for a pool of fast cache on the device. This particular drive is in the list of “recommended accessories” on the B&H product listing for the DS920+, so I figured “great, I suppose I’ll get that one.” Turns out j should’ve done my research a bit better, because the DS920+ only supports the NVMe protocol for the M.2 2280 form factor, not the SATA protocol of this particular drive. So buyer beware if your purchasing this particular SSD for use in the DS920+, because despite its inclusion as an idea accessory it is not in fact supported.

This WD SSD drive was installed into a Dell Inspiron 5000 series laptop. The drive being replaced was a traditional mechanical WD Blue drive of the same capacity. Downloaded the drive cloning software from the WD website and the process was trouble free (make sure you get a good USB transfer cable). Installed the new drive and it booted up to Windows 10 without a glitch. Being a drive designed for NAS install, it does cost a bit more, but I wanted a drive that was a more reliable over the long term and hopefully this will deliver.
