Toshiba N300 PRO 24TB Large-Sized Business NAS (up to 24 Bays) 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - Up to 550 TB/Year Workload Rate CMR SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 1.0 GB Cache - HDWG82EXZSTB

Still running 3 years later in a DAS

I ordered 5 N300 Pro (14tb) to use in a NAS. It surprised me how quiet the drives are and how cool they run. So far most of my time has only been spent rebuilding the storage pool, but I'm happy with the drives and their cool running temps. Granted my NAS is not very beefy in terms of hardware, but temps and noise is comparable to my old 4TB WD100EFAX drives. All drives passed the extended SMART test. Regarding the warranty, what other folks said is true, I checked my drives and they all showed NO WARRANTY on the Toshiba site. But with that said, I also bought some 6TB WD drives from Amazon as spares for another NAS and those also show "NO LIMITED WARRANY" on the WD site, same boat there.

I had been running a plex server with up to 18TB or so in content. This was split over 3 external usb drives (8TB, 8TB, and 6TB) but I have been running into issues with what appeared to be the drives going to sleep. However, it was the 8TB drives just simply dying, looking at the smart stats they are erroring billions of times. So, I decided to stop buying drives from Costco and just slap in some enterprise drives to my dedicated Plex machine. I paid slightly more than the lowest price for these because I wanted them to be sold by amazon. I have bought other IT items from sellers on Amazon but sometimes you get refurbished gear/drives with it being disclosed. The price per TB is higher than normal, a good price for drives in this size is around $14 per TB. So far these drives are 100% performant regularly hitting 150MBs + and have 0 errors on them. They are rated for way higher usage that I will ever use. As I migrate data and fill up these drives I will buy another as needed. 100% recommended.

Got a couple of these for my network storage. They are quiet, have a large storage capacity, and was easy to install. They run at a higher RPM then what would be used in a desktop computer so they have a great read / write speed.

great device , works as expected and fast too !!

I’ve had 9 in total of these (including the failed ones), 1 did not work out of the box and had to return it. A second supposed working within a year of buying it so it was luckily within the warranty period. But when it works it’s great. The warranty and RMA process is horrible, you will have to visit there website to start the RMA process, and then go through a back and forth process with someone for a few days till they approve your request. Once approved you will have to pay for the shipping label and delivery along with the delivery protection since if anything happens during the return they will say you’re shut out of luck and it’s no longer their problem. I’m not sure what the norm is but 2/9 failure rate seems kind of high though.

Bought these when the price dropped as a lower cost option to the same size WD Red Pro drives.. They have proven to be reliable - so far, with all units surviving 72 hours burn in and several more days of moving terabytes of data too/from these drives. I will buy more when needed.

Dropping like flies with just around 500 hours! Drive after drive unrecoverable with just a bit over 500 hours lifetime. That is a horrific situation for 20TB drives. That is a great deal of lost data and time to recover from backups! I would NEVER purchase another Toshiba drive. Ever, after this nightmare. I am having a horrendous time reaching support for an RMA... always on hold. I have read reviews and ignored them about drive quality and RMA/Warranty. In my case... all of the negative warnings were completely TRUE! Do NOT purchase these drives. I regret my purchase! I don't want anyone else to suffer the loss of time, money, and the complete loss of faith that I have experienced. I still have 6 drives left to worry about now. Despite the cost... I really think it best to just replace these brand new drives with Western Digital. I cannot take more data recovery and downtime due to this sub-standard product. RMA Process is ancient and slow. I have yet to get my drive replaced, and I am beginning to think Toshiba is not going to honor their own warranty terms!

Viene en buen estado y bien protegido. Al pasarle el check tiene excelente estado

Bought six Toshiba N300 Pro 20 TB drives for my Synology NAS (using five, keeping one as a spare). Shipping was fast, and the packaging was sturdy with Canadian documentation. They run cooler and just as fast as my IronWolf Pro and WD Red Pro drives. My NAS gave a “not tested” warning, but they’ve been working perfectly — quiet, cool, and loads of storage. I’ll update once I finish upgrading all five bays from 16 TB to 20 TB. 6-Week Update After Completing the Upgrade After replacing all of my 8 TB drives and expanding the storage pool to its full capacity, everything has been running flawlessly. The data-scrubbing process completed without any errors, and performance has stayed consistently strong — still cool, quiet, and stable. The only minor challenge I ran into is that the specific serial-number range on these drives doesn’t seem to match any publicly available Toshiba documentation. Even so, the firmware they shipped with has been perfectly reliable so far. No compatibility issues, no disk warnings, and zero problems in daily operation over the last 6 weeks. Overall, the upgrade has been smooth, and the drives continue to deliver excellent performance and thermal behavior in my Synology setup.

Great packaging, and the drive is still going strong 1 year later. Will order more

Até então o produto é muito bom, está cumprindo com o prometido

Works perfectly with no issues during the drive scan. As fast as any of the other NAS hard drives I have in my server, with the fastest sectors clocking in at 280+MB/s. The drive arrived within 2 weeks to Australia and was packaged perfectly. The drivers packaging had no apparent defects and the drive itself was well protected during its international postage journey.
