Seagate Announces IronWolf 510 M.2 NVMe SSD for NAS Applications
Seagate Technology plc, a world leader in data solutions, today announced the latest in high-performance solutions for multi-user NAS environments, adding to their award-winning IronWolf SSD product line. Seagate's IronWolf 510 is an M.2 NVMe SSD with caching speeds of up to 3 GB/s for NVMe-compatible systems and is ideal for creative pros and business NAS needing 24x7 multi-user storage that is cache enabled.
The IronWolf 510 SSD meets leading top NAS manufacturer requirements of one drive write per day (DWPD), allowing multi-user NAS environments to do more with their data with lasting performance. The IronWolf 510 SSD is reliable with 1.8 million hours mean time between failures (MTBF) in a PCIe form factor, two years of Rescue Data Recovery Services, and a five-year limited warranty. IronWolf Health Management helps analyze drive health and will soon be available on compatible NAS systems.
"We are the first to provide a purpose-built M.2 NVMe for NAS that not only goes beyond SATA performance metrics but also provides 3x the endurance when compared to the competition. This meets the required endurance spec of one DWPD which our NAS partners expect for their customers," said Matt Rutledge, senior vice president, devices. "Because of such high endurance, our customers are getting a tough SSD for small business and creative professional NAS environments."
Meiji Chang, General Manager of QNAP Systems, Inc., commented, "We're thrilled to see new additions to Seagate's solid-state drive line for NAS which caters specifically to SSD requirements in the network storage segment enhancing performance and endurance. This enables QNAP to build more performance-driven and reliable systems and applications, including all-flash arrays, on which our users can rely."
The IronWolf 510 SSD PCIe Gen3 x4, NVMe 1.3 is available in 240 GB, 480 GB, 960 GB, and 1.92 TB capacities and is compatible with leading NAS vendors to provide server storage for small and medium-sized businesses and creative professionals that use NAS.
Combine IronWolf Hard Drives with IronWolf SSD's and benefit from ultra-high capacity, ultra-high endurance, and high-speed caching.

10 Comments on Seagate Announces IronWolf 510 M.2 NVMe SSD for NAS Applications
Although most drives of this type are built more for durability & uptime as opposed to the pure speed that typical consumers seek...just sayin :)
The 240GB version is slower than a mediocre SATA drive when it comes to writing data to it.
I'd wager that some USB flash drives have faster write IOPS.
Durability and uptime is one thing, but this is not impressive for the asking price.

10Gbps is slowly becoming more popular, so...
Not worried about this being 'slow' for most users today or the next couple of years, really.
Also, your mobo only sports a 2.5G connection, so you still have a NIC bottleneck anyway. ;)
I also have a cheap Netgear 10Gbps switch, but it's the one with only two 10Gbps ports.
You should know better by now than assuming I would have such a bottle neck in my setup.
Don't make assumptions without having all the facts ;)
So yes, for me, this would be slow and I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks they have slow write speeds. The read speeds are acceptable.
