[Note]: (1) One Terabyte (1TB) means 10{12] = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. Actual formatted storage capacity may vary. For details, please visit Toshiba's Consumer HDD website. (2) Compatibility may vary depending on user’s hardware configuration & operating system. (3) Product specifications, colors, configurations and components are subject to change without notice. (4) "2.5-inch" & "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. The warranty brochure can be viewed at Toshiba's Consumer HDD website. Review: Great alternative to the big guys - I have recently decided to invest in a NAS device for my Plex Server and decided on the Asustor 4 bay NAS. I was trying not to brake the bank since I needed 4 hard drives to fill the NAS so I did a lot of comparing between Western Digital and Seagate who tend to be the most popular. 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. Review: Reliability is the most important thing in data storage. - TL:DR for the people in hurry, 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. ## Features - Built for small office and home office NAS - Designed for 24/7 operation; 128/256 MB buffer - High reliability with up to 180TB/year workload rating - High performance 7200 RPM drive with large cache size - Integrated RV sensors to compensate for rotational vibrations - Includes Toshiba 3 year limited warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06Y2KCXCM | | Additional Features | Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,669 in Internal Hard Drives | | Brand | TOSHIBA | | Built-In Media | Toshiba N300 NAS Internal Hard Drive | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 128 | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 697 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 6 Gigabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 6 TB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch, 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00889661174349 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | SATA 6 GB/s | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hard-Drive Size | 6 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Type Name | Toshiba N300 6TB NAS 3.5" Internal Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 1.7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Toshiba America Electronic Components Inc | | Media Speed | 6 GB/s | | Mfr Part Number | HDWN160XZSTA | | Model Name | N300 | | Model Number | HDWN160XZSTA | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 6 Gigabytes Per Second | | Special Feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | business, personal | | UPC | 889661174349 | | Warranty Description | 3 years | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TOSHIBA - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity Technology:** SATA - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 6 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** SATA 6 GB/s - **Hard Disk Size:** 6 TB - **Installation Type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Portable ## Images ![N300 6TB NAS 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - CMR SATA 6 GB/s 7200 RPM 128 MB Cache - HDWN160XZSTA - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uCpRZekML.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: the million doller question is, can this be install in a pc and use to store games and movies like normal?** A: Yes, but is is a waste of money. NAS drives are built to withstand vibrations from other HHD next to them. They also have more expansive SMART information that is only really read in NAS systems. They cache algorithms are made for raid so they might perform worse in a single drive setup. I would save the money and stick to a high performance SSD or HHD for a PC. **Q: My toshiba 8gb came with two partitions on it already - 2 and 5.4gb. is that how your 8gb hdd was, or is that a sign that it was used and returned?** A: The straight answer is no, only one partition. However I am using it as a secondary drive so it is partitioned as a whole. I f you installed it as the main hdd, the system automatically will break it in 2 partitions, the 2 tb for the system drive and the rest as a secondary disk. The system drive cannot be greater than 2 tb in some os. Was the box seal intact and the disk in a sealed bag? **Q: does it come with migration software?** A: There was no Software come with. **Q: Does this Work with tivo?** A: Why not ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great alternative to the big guys *by J***M on January 29, 2021* I have recently decided to invest in a NAS device for my Plex Server and decided on the Asustor 4 bay NAS.
