Sandisk introduced two dedicated solid-state drives for network-attached storage setups on Wednesday, bringing the NAS 600 SATA SSD and the NAS 800 NVMe SSD to creative workers and small business offices. Network-attached storage, commonly known as NAS, connects dedicated storage hardware directly to an office or home network so multiple computers can back up, share, and retrieve files at the same time. The two new storage lines target multi-user setups, hybrid servers, and all-flash arrays that need constant uptime without the slow speeds or mechanical noise of spinning hard drives. Both drives go on sale worldwide in September 2026.

Upgrading Hard Drives with the NAS 600 SATA
The Sandisk NAS 600 SATA SSD comes in a standard 2.5-inch 7mm form factor. It fits directly into 3.5-inch drive bays that support 2.5-inch drives, giving users a simple way to replace slow hard disk drives (HDDs) or set up a dedicated SSD cache. It reaches sequential read speeds of up to 560MB/s.
Endurance ratings reach up to 2,500 Terabytes Written (TBW) on the 4TB model, along with a mean time to failure (MTTF) rating of up to 2.25 million hours. Sandisk sells the drive in capacities from 500GB up to 4TB, built specifically for RAID configurations and team file sharing.
High-End Performance with the NAS 800 NVMe
For demanding setups, the Sandisk NAS 800 NVMe SSD uses a PCIe 5.0 interface in the standard M.2 2280 form factor. Built with TLC 3D NAND flash, this drive targets primary storage, caching tiers, virtualization, and local AI workloads.
The drive achieves sequential read speeds up to 14,900MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 13,200MB/s on the 1.92TB version. Random performance reaches up to 2.3 million IOPS read and 2 million IOPS write on the 3.84TB option. Sandisk offers the NAS 800 in capacities ranging from 960GB to 7.68TB, with endurance reaching up to 14 Petabytes Written (PBW) on the top 7.68TB drive.
