I didnt see a endurance rating other then 5 year warranty. whats the tbw? or workload rating?

TBW is 2500 TBW for the 4TB model.

Since the red version is optimized for a nas, is there a problem if installed on a computer?

No, not a problem. This NAS SSD can be used in the place of a regular SSD. I use these NAS SSD as boot drives in automation computers that run 24/7. Work flawlessly.

Is it compatible with the synology ds-720+ nas as cache memory?

Yes, but speed is limited. This model is M.2 SATA, not NVMe. Cannot operate through onboard NVMe slots. Need SATA adaptor and install through conventional HDD slots with a maximum of 6 Gb/s speed. Likely only capable to work as read-only cache.

Is it slc, mlc, tlc, or qlc? they are advertising it as a "nas ssd," it should be at least be mlc for that form of performance?

THE WD red SSD series is TLC. Note that a number of reliability studies have shown that TLC and MLC have similar reliability factors, and the WD drive has a large amount of sparing, which provides a very high write endurance, >700 TB for the 500 GB model. The WD SA series is designed for NAS caching, which has very high write ratios, but also works well as a normal drive or RAID drive.
