Description
Designed for use in RAID or NAS arrays with 1 to 8 drive bays, the 8TB N300 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS HDD from Toshiba meets the reliability, performance, endurance, and scalability requirements of 24/7 NAS applications for personal, home office, and small business use. This 8TB drive operates using a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a 512MB cache, and a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, all of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers with a rate of up to 281 MB/s. This drive also features high levels of reliability, with 600,000 load/unload cycles, 1 in 1015 non-recoverable read errors per bits read, a workload rate of up to 180TB per year, and a 1 million hour MTTF. Shock protection is provided by a rotational vibration sensor, while ramp loading helps reduce wear and Error Recovery Control limits recovery time to help optimize error correction.Applications 1 to 8-bay NAS arrays Desktop RAID arrays and servers Multimedia server storage Built for Demanding NAS Environments Supports multi-RAID systems with up to 8 bays Designed for 24/7 operations with a workload rate of up to 180TB per year Rotational Vibration Compensation Technology Integrated RV sensors help ensure high reliability against shock and vibrations by detecting and minimizing rotational vibration effects in multi-bay NAS systems Toshiba Cache Technology On-board cache algorithm and buffer management optimize cache allocation between read and write cycles for improved real-time drive performance High Performance During Intensive Operations A 512MB data buffer ensures high performance and fast read speed during data intensive operation Fast data transfer speeds of up to 281 MB/s provides quick access to essential content Data Protection Technologies Ramp loading technology reduces wear to the recording head and media for improved drive reliability Error Recovery Control technology limits recovery time to help optimize error correction in RAID environments High Durability and Heat Prevention The drive automatically adjusts the seek speed when it reaches a critical temperature to help reduce heat buildup during high temperature operations Peace of Mind High reliability with an MTTF of up to 1 million hours Limited 3-year warranty
