This company is burning its reputation to the ground with this drive. Man, I struggle to remember a hardware company wreck it's name this fast.
It isn't a totally normal drive at least. It at least has somewhat good endurance,
> Synology also claims a tested endurance of up to 2900TB TBW, important to consider for its advertised NAS use case.
1800TBW:1TB ratio 3x the normal consumer drive 600TBW:TB ratio.
However, the $200 for $2TB WD Red NAS SSD is even better:
> Western Digital's WD Red SN700 SSD, another PCIe 3.0 NAS drive, advertises a TBW of 5100TB, nearly double what Synology offers.
2550TBW:TB ratio.
What alternatives are out there at parity?
This nas area is a weird space. I'd probably go look for enterprise drives. Kioxia or what not. For personal use I'd definitely hit up eBay.
The razor and the blades.
