The N300 3.5″ Hard Drive provides unparalleled reliability for NAS along with other high performance storage systems. Designed for 24/7 operation, the N300 HDD has been optimised to meet various requirements such as reliability, endurance, performance and scalability. This is ideal for personal, home office and small business use.
Standard hard disk drives can negatively affect the performance of a multi-bay NAS system when ‘knock-on’ vibration occurs. The N300 contains integrated RV sensors which help minimise vibration effects through advanced control and sensing technology, improving overall NAS performance and eliminating ‘knock-on’ vibration.
Today’s NAS drives must be built to support several users at different locations and continuously provide sufficient transfer rates around the clock. N300 drives offer a maximum 180 TB/year workload which is up to 3 times more than conventional desktop hard drives.
High endurance over a long period of time will build up heat and affect the performance of the HDD. Compared to the conventional HDD, N300 series drives are able to adjust their speeds to assist heat loss and improve endurance during demanding situations.
The N300 offers quick data access and read speeds, providing multiple users with the files they request fast and efficiently. This drive is ideal in small businesses who are looking for solutions to handle high data volumes in multi-RAID NAS environments.
Toshiba’s Dynamic Cache Technology is a self-contained cache algorithm with on-board buffer management. It optimises how the cache is allocated during read/write to provide the high-level performance demanded by real-time domains.
The 12 TB to 18 TB N300 NAS Hard Drives use a helium-sealed design, achieving low power consumption while increasing storage density. Toshiba Group’s laser welding technology ensures that the helium remains securely sealed inside the drive enclosure. With the environment in mind, the helium-filled N300 models minimise acoustic output to just 20db (typical) in idle mode. The devices are ideal for large scale server systems allowing for rich scalability of up to 8 drives.
