As stated by another person - this is an HDD! To be specific it's a high quality 256MB cache SATA-6 NAS drive that comes with a 5 year warranty and is rated for 2M hours MTBF. It's only real competition in the class is the Seagate IronWolf Pro and the WD Gold (which this HGST will be replacing by the end of 2019). Please edit the site to compare it to other HDDs so how good it actually is can be clear to everyone.

This is not a SSD. It's WD Ultrastar 6TB HDD
