Overview

N300: a high reliability hard drive


Designed for NAS, the Toshiba N300 hard drive delivers unmatched reliability! In the demanding world of mass storage, the N300 delivers optimal performance and meets the endurance, performance and scalability needs of a high capacity 24/7 storage system for personal, home office or small business use.


Designed for NAS


Through discussions with NAS manufacturers, Toshiba recognised the need for high reliability drives that address today's data storage and retrieval requirements, including streaming, backup and archiving. The drive, which can support multiple multi-RAID systems with up to 8 hard drives, enables reliable storage and use of large volumes of data by multiple clients 24/7.


Integrated VR sensors


Conventional hard drives without RV sensors can degrade the performance of a multi-bay NAS system by generating harmful vibration. N300 drives ensure high reliability by reducing vibration through monitoring and sensor technology. Numerous sensors detect even the slightest shock, and the built-in RV sensors compensate for rotational vibration, thus limiting the risk of harmful vibration in the multi-bay NAS system configuration.


Reliable continuous operation


NAS systems in small business or creative environments must be accessible by multiple users from different locations simultaneously. Therefore, today's NAS drives guarantee high data transfer rates and simultaneous upload and download 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. By offering high reliability and scalability, the N300 guarantees a workload factor of up to 180 TB/year, which is up to 3 times more than conventional desktop hard drives.


High durability and heat protection


The use of highly robust components is one of the reasons why the N300 series provides a higher durability than conventional hard drives. In addition, theautomatic adjustment of the seekspeed to reduce heat during any operation involving high temperatures further enhances the robustness of the unit in demanding situations.


High speed for a multi-drive environment

You can enjoy high performance and accelerated read speed when accessing data communicated by many users, thanks to a 256 MB data buffer. This makes the drive suitable for small businesses and content management professionals who are looking for solutions for handling high volumes of data through multi-RAID NAS environments.

    Noisy

    The disc does its job. But..... but it's very noisy.
    Vibrating noises all the time, even when idle, and the heads' motors rattling like they're from the 2000s.
    Compared to the Ironwolf I have, it's night and day. Fortunately, this drive is used for NAS backups and is stopped most of the time.
