SanDisk has announced two new NAS-focused SSDs, the NAS 600 SATA SSD and NAS 800 NVMe SSD, designed for high-endurance, multi-user network-attached storage workloads. Both drives launch in September, with the NAS 600 starting at $179.99 USD and the NAS 800 starting at $309.99 USD.
SanDisk has introduced a new NAS SSD portfolio consisting of the NAS 600 SATA SSD and NAS 800 NVMe SSD, aimed at prosumers and small businesses building or upgrading network-attached storage systems. According to TechPowerUp, the drives are engineered for the reliable, consistent performance, high endurance, and scalability demanded by modern NAS workflows, whether that means replacing HDDs in hybrid NAS boxes or building out all-flash arrays.
The NAS 600 is a 2.5-inch/7mm SATA drive meant as an accessible upgrade path from spinning HDDs, fitting into existing 3.5-inch NAS bays that support 2.5-inch SSDs. SanDisk rates the 4TB model at up to 2,500 TBW endurance and 2.25M hours MTTF, with sequential reads up to 560 MB/s, targeting reliability in multi-drive RAID configurations for collaborative environments.
The NAS 800 steps up to PCIe 5.0 NVMe, targeting all-flash and hybrid NAS deployments running business-critical workloads such as caching, storage tiering, databases, virtualization, or content creation. SanDisk lists endurance up to 14 PBW on the 7.68TB model, random read/write speeds up to 2.3M/2M IOPS on the 3.84TB model, and sequential speeds up to 14,900/13,200 MB/s on the 1.92TB model. The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor and, per SanDisk, has been tested for compatibility with many leading NAS systems.
Both drives are set to launch in September through SanDisk.com and select retailers, with US pricing starting at $179.99 for the 500GB NAS 600 and $309.99 for the 960GB NAS 800, according to both TechPowerUp and KitGuru.
