Synology server cache drive
Works great as a small cache drive for my Synology server.

Works as cache for Synology NAS.
I bought two of these to create a read/write cache on a Synology DS923+ and it worked perfectly. The true test will be how long they last but Synology uses SSDs cleverly and these NVMe are specifically designed for the purpose. Synology will not let them be used as storage and you will have to buy their own, much more expensive and smaller ones if you want to do that (there’s a hack, but it’s not very healthy to mess with your storage safety). If you want to cache both reads and writes, you need a pair of SSDs and only slightly less than half the total capacity will actually be available, the other half being a backup. Depending on your use, 931GB of available high speed cache should be more than enough to accelerate throughput to your network’s limits.

Works with DS1821+
These were used to create SSD Cache in a Synology DS1821+. They were detected without any problems although I did have to acknowledge the risks of using non-Synology drives to enable their use. However, after that, they work perfectly fine.

Good for NAS
Although it was considered incompatible in Synology’s DSM, I used it anyway. All good so far.

Decent speed and cache but doesn't come with screws
i would've expected a screw to come with it but apart from that all good

Got for a QNAP NAS
i had 2 plain (but supported) Crucial NVMEs in my QNAP 873. They would regularly "fail". Took them out and tested. No issues. Put them in back in and would be fine for a couple of weeks then one would fail again. Never any issues always green. Decided to try these REDs and they have been fine since. Expect it's because I had the crucial ones in a raid set and they could not cope with that but these REDs do.

Wanted to reduce wait times for my homelab
My homelab VMs run off my Synology NAS (NFS), I was seeing quite bad latency issues in certain scenarios. I ran the SSD advisor which notified me I'd need 56GB of total cache space.Being my usual overkill self, I bought a pair of these for my caching drives.What a surprise, I'm currently at 450ish GB reusable in cache and latency is massively reduced, so kinda ignore the SSD advisor on the Synology NAS if you're running NFS and iSCSI workloads for homelabs (I can't say if this is a winner for production stuff).

Works great as a system drive too!
Yes I bought this drive for my main system drive in my workstation. I wanted a drive with potentially slightly higher robustness. Slapped Windows 10 on, all setup and it works great (as I expected). I also added a heat-sink to it as well as I read it can get a little toasty. Performance has been great.Recommended.
