1TB Pro? I'm waiting for Samsung to bring out 4TB Pros to push down the 1TB drives so I can get a pair of EVOs for my NAS
Hi. Do you know how to fit these into NAS which uses the standard harddisk size? What sort of adapter I should get?
Uh, I would've tried to see if the Manufacturer of the NAS had brackets for it. So then I could write a lengthy abusive email saying that the drives don't fit if they don't fit.
All you really need to do is run a cable from the back connections to the connections in the NAS, and you'll be connected… Here in lies the problem, are you happy to just have SSD's floating in the wind?
But that's basically all you're trying to achieve. A connection, which both are the same for 3.5 and 2.5. You might even be able to just plug the 2.5 straight in to it, and hope the connection is strong enough to hold the SSD.
I don't recommend doing any of this shit. This is just a "I NEED IT WORKING NOW GODDAMMIT" solution.
EDIT:
Also, there are NAS with SAS OR SATA.
SAS TO SATA IS NO, SATA TO SATA IS YEY
It's not worth it since it was $239 previously

your better of waiting for a samsung pro/evo to be at this price
or picking up the sandisk when it get below $250 again
Thanks. I'll wait. :)
Yah, was just posting this one more for just people needing one soon, that wants to save about $50 on local prices
Given my desktop disk usage a 512 Pro would be enough for me. Trouble is I have my tax return burning a hole in my pocket.
Does that mean you need to spend money? or…
Keen to spend money soon.
When I'm in that situation, I just buy, then I demote the drives to a more robust sort of usage. Sort of like upgrading an SSD. These would still make a better storage drive than the old spindle disks. I'm in the middle of replacing the two storage 7200RPM drives in RAID in my laptop with 1TB SSD, then moving the 7.2 in to a NAS with another 2 7.2K Drives in RAID5, then slowly I will convert the NAS to a SSD NAS.
@SickDmith:
I can only use 1GBPS wired on laptop, but I'm going to connect the NAS I'm getting to the gateway for the cable interwebs using 2GbEthernet, so I'll be able to write to it from multiple machines over wireless too.
I don't really use desktop equipment anymore because I've been limited on (real estate)space for a long time moving around interstate all the time. I took my desktop on a plane once. Never again.
So I've had notebooks and anything 2.5 or mobility - more expensive and slower, but lighter and takes up less space.
I was going to hook up a Raspberry Pi to the NAS, as a project, and see if I can bridge a 802.11N and another GBE to the 2x GBEthernet.
@NeoBeum:
My point is I can't see much benefit from SSD in NAS with 1Gb or 2Gb network connection other than lower power consumption and less noise.
I have 4 x WD RED in RAID 5 on the old Intel Atom box. And local read speed is about 200 Mb/s - my 1 Gbit/s wired network is not capable to saturate this.
And RPi is not the fastest network device too. :)
@SickDmith:
Because I'm skinny and I don't like carrying heavy things.
I make Wee Man from Jackass look like Brock Lesnar
Under $300, perfect for tax return.
This or wait for a Samsung Pro?
