Product Description
The Toshiba N300 NAS internal hard drive is designed for personal, home office and small business network attached storage (NAS) use. The N300 delivers robust storage capacity and is designed for 24/7 power-on operation(9). With support for up to 8 drive bays(5) in a multi-RAID environment, the N300 is highly scalable to the users’ NAS configurations as their data storage needs evolve. The N300 delivers high-reliability supporting a high workload rating of up to 180TB/year(6) and are optimized for use in NAS environments where large amounts of data need to be efficiently stored and accessed daily. Whether you’re hosting a cloud, sharing files between workgroups or powering a high-traffic 24/7 network, Toshiba’s N300 NAS hard drive delivers the high reliability and performance that home and small office NAS users demand. [Note]: (1) One Terabyte (1TB) means 10{12] = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. Actual formatted storage capacity may vary. (2) Compatibility may vary depending on user’s hardware configuration and operating system. (3) Product specifications, colors, configurations and components are subject to change without notice. (4) "2.5-inch" and "3.5-inch" mean the form factor of HDDs. They do not indicate drive's physical size. (5) For "Drive Bays Supported", please contact your Solutions Provider as compatibility with host device will vary based on the system. (6) Workload is a measure of the data throughput of the year, and it is defined as the amount of data written, read or verified by commands from the host system. (7) MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; It is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately reflect actual operation. Actual operating life of the product may be different from the MTTF. (8) Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size. (9) Drive life may vary depending on usage and workload. (10) Standard limited warranty terms apply.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
For around the same price as the WD Red Plus, which has 5400 rpm you can get this hard drive with 7200 RPM with the same amount of storage. It is hard to review a hard drive since all it does is hold data, but for the price, Toshiba was the obvious choice.
This drive is a little bit noisy, but that is to be expected on the 7200 RPM drives vs the slower 5400 RPM drives. It also could have to do with the particular NAS I purchased since it has a metal enclosure instead of a plastic which would dull the noise a little.
Setup was a breeze, all of my drives are up and functional. I decided to buy 3 6TB drives and add a 4th later when storage is necessary. Of course every hard drive has the possibility of failure so that cannot really be a good gauge unless of course your drives is dead out of the box in which case its probably a defective unit.
I am very happy with this purchase and will use Toshiba drives in the future as they provide better value for the money and equal performance.

Buy it. A certain portion of drives from any manufacturer will fail. It's lottery that nobody wants to win. Toshiba drives have the lowest failure rate in the year of use of all drive manufactures. If you have used electronics for long you know that if something is going to fail it will most likely be in the first year.
For those not in a hurry:
I have 4 of these installed in my home server. The OS is Ubuntu 18.04 and the drives are formatted in a btrfs RAID10.
How long have owned them?
It's been 10moths since I bought them..
How noisy is it?
For me, not very noisy at all. I have a good case, a great PSU, a good motherboard, and I am using Linux. A good case means that it has solid HDD mounts that will not rattle as the drive vibrates because it is spinning. It also means that the drives are mounted close to a fan to keep them cool. A great PSU means that the drives always get the a steady and reliable amount of power so they spin at the same speed 24/7. A good motherboard means that SATA controller has a great driver which is what controls the drives as they spin. Linux means that most HDD's are going to make more noise than on Windows because Linux will cache disk writes in RAM for several seconds to several minutes and then do all the writes at once.
How many non-recoverable bad sectors did These drives have out of the box?
Two. On four drives, two non-recoverable bad sectors out of the box.
How many non-recoverable bad sectors these drives have after 10 months of being powered on 24/7?
Two.
That's my review.
So far, my HDD (8tb version) performs as expected: no noise, no heat, no problems. I do keep it in an external enclosure, away from the heat of my workstation, but don't know if that was truly necessary. Knowing that heat kills any HDD, with the only question being "how quickly?", I prefer to keep my important HDDs cool. To do that, you can buy one of those docking stations hook it up via USB3 and your HDDs will perform without a glitch for many years to come (Very likely to exceed their usually MTBF).
Again: no noise, no heat, no problems, just as I expected from Toshiba.

Installed it, Drobo picked it up and started to rebuild its raid, came back to it under an hour later with red lights flashing and a warning that the drive failed. Warranty has run out so I am now stuck with a brick.
What a waste of time and money!

Ordered 5 drives for a Raidz2 nas. They are very fast and data copy was faster than expected.
Biggest selling point is that these drives are CMR and not SMR. Generally both type of drive will perform similar in a single drive configuration, but as soon as you raid them, SMR will be your downfall in an raid re-build or drive replacement . Only use CMR drives for raid / nas configurations. SMR will work in a mirror configuration , but NOT any other raid. stick with these and CMR type drives.
Didn't run comparison tests of any kind, they just work so far. but only 2 weeks in use at this time.
