Toshiba's N300 3.5-inch NAS internal hard drive is designed to meet the reliability, performance, endurance, and scalability requirements of 24/7 network attached storage application for personal, home office and small business use.¦The N300 features rotational vibration (RV) sensors which automatically detect and compensate for transient vibrations to deliver consistent performance in multi-bay storage enclosures. With support for up to 8 drive bays in a multi-RAID NAS design, the N300 is highly scalable to the users' NAS configurations as their data storage needs evolve.¦The N300 NAS HDD line of high-reliability drives have a high workload rating of up to 180TB/year and are optimized for use in NAS environments where large amounts of data need to be efficiently stored and accessed daily.
- Supports multi-RAID systems with up to 8 bays
- Designed for 24/7 operation with workloads up to 180TB/year
- Integrated RV sensors help ensure high reliability against shock and vibrations by detecting and minimizing rotational vibration effects in multi-bay NAS system
- On-board cache algorithm and buffer management optimize cache allocation between read and write cycles for improved real-time drive performance
- Fast data transfer speed provides quick access to essential content
- Ramp loading technology reduces wear to the recording head and media for improved drive reliability
- Error Recovery Control technology minimizes critical downtime for multi-RAID environment by optimizing data error recovery time
- Secured motor shaft at both ends helps reduce system-induced vibrations, stabilizing the platters for improved tracking accuracy and performance during read and write operations
- Adjust seek speed automatically to reduce heat buildup during high temperature operation
Designed for NAS
Through its contact with NAS manufacturers, Toshiba recognizes the need for high-reliability disks in support of modern data storage and retrieval demands including streaming, backup and archiving. This drive, which can support multi-RAID systems with up to 8 hard disk drives, allows large volumes of data to be reliably stored and accessed by multiple clients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
High durability and heat prevention
Temperature control technology, through the automatic adjustment of rotational speed, prevents the buildup of heat during demanding operations resulting in sustained drive performance and long-term reliability. Also, the use of high-endurance components is one of the reasons that the N300 Series offers better durability than other conventional hard disk drives.
Optimized cache allocation
Toshiba's Dynamic Cache Technology, a self-contained cache algorithm with onboard buffer management, optimizes how the cache is allocated during read/write to provide the high-level performance demanded by real-time domains.
