Toshiba N300 6TB NAS 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - CMR SATA 6 GB/s 7200 RPM 256 MB Cache - HDWG160XZSTA

The first drive was a dud, looked like box was dropped and drive damaged. The amount drives being returned i don't get how Amazon or the vendor don't take care of the drives. Anyhow, replacement drive arrived a few days later. Homeserver picked it up and just works. Transfer speeds are amazing, at times i get 15-20 seconds bursts of over 230Mb/s, fastest drive I own. As far as noise, its in the server along bunch of other drives, it's not any louder than any of the other ones. When spools full speed, yeah you can hear it a bit more, nothing excessive. It does run a few degrees cooler than Seagate drives, and has bit less airflow than the Seagates and Hitachi drives. It's been a great drive, waiting a bit and will get 2 more.

Bought 4x 6tb N300 to feed a 4-bay NAS (Synology DS920+)Installed and worked like a charm, but the head movement can be heard when they move. Being configured as RAID5, the whole lot always move when reading and writing so it's a bit noisy.Despite the fact that the NAS is in the livingroom, It's not impossible to live with. It's a media server, if they're in use there is sound so that's not dramatic, but it's a stark change from me previous drives (which the NAS seemed not to like because they stop by themselves, being Green..)Rated 5 stars because it's not Toshibas' fault where I place the drives, they work!I tend to find that my previous, WD-Green 4Tb where faster in the same circumstances, but that might just be me...

I bought these for like $240 each (x2) and didn't install them in my rig until after the return window (I bought a bunch of drives for chia farming)Anyways the one disk has an I/O error, is unfortmatable, and the other disk makes a really loud "Click click click" constantly and locks my entire PC up.All in all I wasted over $500 in drives that someone clearly dropped at some point.I'd give it zero stars if I could

J'ai ajouté ce n300 8tb a mes 3 autre seagate, et ça a transformé mon NAS docile en un speaker bluetooth, si vous cherchez un truc silencieux passez votre chemin.Le bech de vitesse est légèrement inférieur que le seagate ironwolf 8tb (sur la 2ème moitié des secteurs)Questions fiabilité, le temps nous le dira

Toshiba customer support only allows for client-paid shipping and will not replace the drive regardless of failure time. They offer to send you a visa gift card for the price you payed for the product.
