Toshiba N300 3.5" 16TB, 7200 RPM, 1024MB, 180 WRL, SATA III Hard Drive for NAS

The Toshiba N300 16TB 3.5-inch NAS hard drive is designed for network-attached storage systems. It uses conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology for data management in multi-bay arrays. With a 16 TB formatted capacity, the drive provides storage for shared media, network backups, and small-business file servers. The 7200 RPM spindle speed helps maintain consistent access times during continuous operation. The drive connects to the host system via a SATA III interface at 6 Gbit/s. It is suitable for building or upgrading RAID configurations that require continuous data availability.

Integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors ensure reliability in dense enclosures. These sensors detect and compensate for vibrations from adjacent drives to maintain tracking accuracy. A 1024 MB cache helps manage command queuing during simultaneous network access. Toshiba specifies an annual workload limit of 180 TB, reflecting its suitability for always-on storage. The unit fits standard drive bays and complies with RoHS standards. This model is supplied in bulk packaging.
