reasonable price and performance lasts 2 years
I have a dedicated 24/7 NAS setup using a Synology DS 723+ which I upgraded to 32GB RAM and 2 TB of M2 Cache and use in RAID 1. I first setup the NAS in late 2023 with 2 of these 8TB N300 and around October 2025 I received a warning that one of the hard drives failed. I therefore bought a new one which had slightly diff specs since it was newer (512mb vs 256mb cache). It worked seamlessly (plug and play) and the RAID was rebuilt. I have the NAS in a dedicated area not is not in close proximity so noise was not a concern for me. However when up close the drives do make a little more noise than other hard drives. Not thunderous but not silent either. In summary, the drives work well. I had one failure just after 2 years (which is reasonable in my view) and replacement was seamless for rebuilding the RAID.

Affordable and got the job done on enterprise environment
Bought 5 for a Synology NAS on my company network to serve as iSCSI and NFS storage, running 24-7 for about a dozen users. Been running about a year now with no issues on any of the drives and all report healthy

Unmatched NAS performance and reliability — highly recommended
Absolutely outstanding drives. Truly unmatched in performance and reliability. I bought 6 of them and couldn’t be happier. Perfect for NAS use — stable, fast, and quiet for their class. It’s a pity there’s a current shortage, I’m waiting for availability to buy 2 more. Highly recommend.

It’s OK
It does what it’s supposed to do. My only pet peeve is slow on turning on and it always sounds like it’s having spasms inside.

Speeds up 280 mbs are legit
So far so great. Ran for 9 hours and the drive only got warm. Using oracle 3.5 enclosure

They've been reliable
I have had 5 of these drives in a RAID10 set (with a warm spare) for over a year, running with no issues under light load with regular consistency checks. The host system is Linux Mint 22.3. I picked this model based on data published by Backblaze. A few months ago I bought 2 more, and am using them as manually-mirrored single drives. No issues with any of them.

Quiet NAS drives with plenty of storage and still performant
Super happy with the Toshiba drives, plenty of storage and working well in my self build NAS. Drives are quieter then the Seagate drives I used before. Performance is equal, so overall a win. The seller packed them well and delivery was fast.
