Description

QNAP 79700-G50001WD04-RS Western Digital Red SA500 500GB NAS SSD

Overview

The 79700-G50001WD04-RS is a QNAP-bundled Western Digital Red SA500 500GB SATA SSD, sourced as a matched storage component for QNAP NAS deployments. The WD Red SA500 line is engineered specifically for NAS enclosures — optimized for the sustained read/write workloads and always-on duty cycles that desktop or client SSDs are not rated to handle. If you are populating a QNAP NAS with solid-state storage and want a drive validated against the platform, this bundle eliminates the guesswork of third-party compatibility verification.

Compatibility

This drive is configured as a QNAP-sourced storage option intended for installation in QNAP NAS enclosures that accept 2.5-inch SATA drives. WD Red SA500 SSDs are broadly compatible across QNAP TS-series, TVS-series, and TDS-series units with available 2.5-inch SATA bays. Verify your specific enclosure's drive compatibility list before ordering — multi-bay units with SAS expanders or M.2-only bays will not accept this drive.

Installation Notes

Install into any available 2.5-inch SATA bay. QNAP NAS units with tool-less trays accept the SA500 without additional hardware; older enclosures may require the 2.5-inch mounting screws supplied with the chassis. Once seated, the drive will appear in the QNAP Storage Manager for volume creation or RAID assignment. No firmware update is required for drive recognition on current QTS and QuTS hero firmware releases.
