Sandisk has introduced two new SSD families, the NAS 600 (SATA) and NAS 800 (PCIe 5.0), specifically engineered for network-attached storage (NAS) systems. These drives offer capacities up to a substantial 7.68TB, targeting prosumers, creative professionals, and small businesses. The NAS 600 SATA drives come in capacities up to 4TB, while the high-performance NAS 800 NVMe drives leverage PCIe 5.0 connectivity for speeds up to 14,900 MB/s.
The NAS 800 stands out with an extraordinary endurance rating of 14 PBW for its 7.68TB model, indicating its suitability for continuous, heavy write workloads.
