Toshiba N300 8TB NAS 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - CMR SATA 6 GB/s 7200 RPM 512 MB Cache - HDWG780XZSTA

This is a great product for home NAS and plex servers. Price per performance is excellent too. I just purchase one more to use in the event one of my RAID 5 disks dies or starts to die. So far, so good.

Excellent drive! I purchased this to replace a failed drive in my OWC RAID5 enclosure, which is a 3-drive RAID5. The OWC RAID rebuilt the replacement drive beautifully and I am back to normal in my home office.

Working as expected. What else can I say?

Beware, ordered two drives apparently sourced by Amazon from someone other than Toshiba. Warranty information said to see the Manufacturer's website. Implying a manufacturer warranty, but failing to tell you that this is an OEM resale not eligible for Toshiba warranty!In posting this the drive now contains a frequently returned warning, which I will be adding morereturns to.

I recently purchased the 18 TB NA 3.5-inch internal hard drive, and I’m very happy with the product. It arrived quickly and was packaged securely. Setting it up in my NAS home server was a breeze—literally plug and play. I used the network access storage device interface to set it up for the first time, which included wiping the drive and configuring it to work with my hardware.What made this purchase a bit of a risk is that it’s not listed as Synology-compatible hardware, so I wasn’t entirely sure it would work. However, I’m glad to report that everything is functioning perfectly so far.I’ll update my review as I continue to use it, but for now, everything is running smoothly, and I’m very satisfied. I’d definitely give this a solid 5 out of 5!

Worked well out of the box and seems moderately fast (using a MacMini M4 and 8T SSD). It is amazing how even 20T is sometimes not enough for personal use (too many photos and videos). It is not silent during read/write, but the clicking sound is not disturbing and relatively subdued. It might be picked up, however, if recording audio when in use. Be sure to use a sufficiently powered and cooled enclosure (especially given the relative cost differentials).

I got Toshiba N300 6TB NAS 3.5 from Amazon. Fast delivery. HDD worked out of the box. CristalDiskInfo shown Zero Power On hours (means brand new). This HDD is quiet and fast enough. I transferred about 40GB of videos and photos, no loses so far. Disk works as intended with Temperature of 23C in my medium Tower along with other Toshiba HDD and Samsung EVO SDD. Zero bad sectors so far. Transfer speed is good also. If , God forbid, it will start acting I'll change my review. But so far so good.

I have this in a single bay Synology. It's fast enough for me to stream video games from, while my girlfriend watches movies on emby in the living room. Very happy.
