WD Red has always been my first choice when it comes to hard drives for NAS.
But my experience with WD Red 3TB for my Synology DS918+ has been terrible.

My secondary storage will be the SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 2TB Internal SSD. I got it for US$209.99 (S$292) on Amazon. Shipping to Singapore is an additional US$4.71 (S$7).
Unlike the addlink S70 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD which uses NVMe connector to give you speed of up to 3,500 MB/s, this SanDisk Ultra 3D 2TB SSD is slightly slower as it uses SATA III. The advertised read speed is up to 560 MB/s and write speed is up to 530 MB/s.

Bought the SanDisk Extreme 128GB A2 MicroSDXC Card from iRoyal Shop on Lazada for S$33.50 during the 11/11 sale. It seems that the price remains the same after 11/11, it is still retailing for S$33.50.
After a week, I realized my order is not progressing. I contacted iRoyal on Lazada Chat. They got back to me pretty quickly. They told me shipping took a little longer as it went out of stock after I bought it.
