This robust hard drive is ideal for personal, home office, and small business use, offering a substantial storage capacity of up to 20TB. Designed for continuous operation, the N300 boasts an impressive Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) of up to 1,200,000 hours, ensuring long-lasting reliability.

The Toshiba N300 is equipped with advanced rotational vibration (RV) sensors, which automatically detect and compensate for transient vibrations, ensuring consistent performance in multi-bay storage enclosures. This makes it an excellent choice for systems with up to 8 drive bays in a multi-RAID NAS configuration, providing scalability as your data storage needs grow.

Optimized for NAS environments, the N300 supports a high workload rating of up to 180TB per year, making it perfect for scenarios where large volumes of data are stored and accessed daily. Whether you're hosting a cloud, sharing files between workgroups, or managing a high-traffic network, this hard drive delivers the high reliability and performance demanded by home and SOHO NAS users.

The N300 features Toshiba's Cache Technology, which includes an on-board cache algorithm and buffer management to optimize cache allocation between read and write cycles, enhancing real-time drive performance. With a data buffer of up to 512MB and fast data transfer speeds reaching up to 281 MB/s, this drive ensures quick access to essential content during data-intensive operations.

Data protection is a priority with the N300, featuring ramp loading technology to reduce wear on the recording head and media, and Error Recovery Control technology to minimize downtime in multi-RAID environments by optimizing data error recovery time. Additionally, the drive's ability to adjust seek speed helps prevent heat buildup during high-temperature operations, enhancing durability.

Choose the Toshiba N300 SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS Hard Drive for a reliable, high-performance storage solution that grows with your needs, offering peace of mind with its exceptional durability and advanced data protection technologies.
