Would IronWolf 510 SSDs for NAS have 4TB spec like Seagate 4TB IronWolf 5900 rpm SATA III 3.5? Also, your text is very useful but still next time, I'd check the text in https://essaytoolbox.com/spell-checker that is a free tool.
I'm still raw from Seagate's IronWolf HDD caching debacle last year: seven months to ship a firmware to fix the write cache flushing bug. In 2019, people spent half the year with a disabled write cache.
What's the point of this kind of product? All of these specialized drive types for NAS, video surveillance, and similar uses have always seemed like a bit of a scam to me. Kinda like "I am building a NAS, I guess I gotta use a NAS drive, I guess I gotta pay $120 more than a Samsung 970 EVO pro" -- a moment of mindlessness and you've spent $800 you didn't have to on a RAID array. (Meantime, normal people smell something wrong and don't buy a NAS)
I understand that NAS drives might be in an environment with a little more vibration than regular drives and how that matters for an HDD, but what is different about a NAS SSD?
The 970 *PRO* maxes out at 0.6 DWPD IIRC. This is a 1DWPD product. Let me know if you see any M.2 NVMe SSD out there with a 1 DWPD rating at similar pricing.
There are different target market for different SSDs - The 970 class of products do not compete with the IronWolf 510 in the latter's target market - creative professionals, and SMB / SME NAS units. If you are having a single-user NAS for home use, things are different - even consumer SSD models like the 970 EVO can be used, as you are unlikely to hit their write endurance limitations. Multi-user / high-traffic NAS systems are a completely different ball game with respect to the amount of write traffic they need to handle because of their workloads.

These things happen, but 7+ months is an incredibly long wait for something that has "NAS-ready reliability".

Why would you post an article with this many question marks in the data? This is a total waste of an article.Ryan Smith - Tuesday, March 17, 2020 - link
Because it's better to state what we don't know rather than leaving it up to question. (A known unknown, as it were, instead of an unknown unknown)ganeshts - Tuesday, March 17, 2020 - link
In these times of WFH for even big companies, we don't get fast turnaround for our questions in time for the announcement going live.I have now resolved almost all of the '?' entries. A few are remaining, and we have reached out to Seagate for further clarification.

Isn't this expensive? I want SSD that is build for Data Capacity. Anything above 500MBps will be fine, but in TB of capacity.PaulHoule - Wednesday, March 18, 2020 - link

Does it have full PLP ? Older Ironwolves didn't have one despite claiming to be "enterprise"ish.dipsha35e - Wednesday, February 24, 2021 - link
