The Toshiba N300 3.5-inch NAS hard drive delivers unmatched reliability for NAS and other high-performance storage systems. It is optimized to meet the reliability, endurance, performance and scalability requirements of high-capacity 24/7 storage for personal, home office and small business use.
Use for:
- Network Attached Storage (NAS)
- Desktop RAID and servers
- Multimedia server storage
- Private cloud storage
- Small business server and storage
Designed for NAS
Through engagement with NAS manufacturers, Toshiba recognizes the need for highly reliable drives to support modern data storage and retrieval requirements, including streaming, backup and archiving. The drive, which can support multi-RAID systems with up to 8 hard drives, enables large amounts of data to be reliably stored and accessed by multiple clients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Integrated RV sensors
Regular hard drives without RV sensors can affect the performance of a multi-bay NAS system by generating 'knock-on' vibrations. N300 drives ensure high reliability by minimizing vibrations through their advanced control and detection technology. Multiple sensors detect the slightest shock and built-in RV sensors also compensate for rotational vibration - eliminating the possibility of 'knock-on' vibrations in multi-bay NAS configuration systems.
Reliable always-on operations
NAS systems in small businesses or creative environments often need to be accessed by multiple users simultaneously. Therefore, today's NAS drives must deliver high data transfer speeds and simultaneous uploading and downloading 24/7. N300 drives offer high reliability and scalability, reaching a maximum of 180TB/year workload factor, up to 3 times more than practical desktop hard drives.
High endurance and heat
The use of high-quality components is one of the reasons that the N300 series offers better endurance than other conventional hard drives. At the same time, the automatic adjustment of the seek speed to reduce heat during high-temperature operation further improves endurance in demanding situations.
Multi-drive environment
High performance and fast read speed are made possible under high data access loads from multiple users thanks to a data buffer of 512, 256 or 128MB. This makes the drive suitable for small businesses and creative professionals looking for solutions to handle large data volumes using multi-RAID NAS environments.
Optimizes cache allocation
Toshiba's dynamic cache technology, a self-contained cache algorithm with built-in buffer management, optimizes how the cache is allocated during read/write operations to deliver the high performance demanded by real-time domains.
