Toshiba12TB N300 Internal Hard Drive – NAS 3.5 Inch SATA HDD Supports Up to 8 Drive Bays Designed for 24/7 NAS Systems, New Generation (HDWG480UZSVA)

Upgraded my sinology drives from 4TB to 12TB, before buying any drives look on the Synology website as they have a list of recommended makes and models of drive, check first before ordering.

An excellent NAS drive for Synology Disk Station with one bay. I used it as en entry level for Synology ds123j. Quite, fast and affordable.

Bought this as a replacement for the WD Red 6TB in my Synology NAS DS114 as the drive was failing. This Toshiba N300 6TB drive works perfectly and is 7200 rpm. Win win.

I've had a N300 6TB for 2 years now: hasn't missed a beat. This was an order for 2 8TB equivalents, intended for installation into a NAS as a ZFS mirrored pair. It's only been two days, but their S.M.A.R.T. statistics are all that I could have hoped for -and definitely prove the drive is factory-fresh. They arrived extremely well packaged, which is not always true of hard disks sourced from Amazon, and a reason for me having generally bought disks from alternative, electronics-specialist, online vendors in the past couple of years. However, the price for these was too good to miss, so Amazon it was and fingers crossed for the packaging... except, as I say, they came in individual cardboard boxes, three pieces of thick white foam each, good antistatic bags and lots of bubblewrap, too. So: zero complaints.As for this particular brand of disks: as I say, nothing but reliable in the 6TB version. I've seen other people say they are noisy: these are currently installed in a 1U server which sounds like a rocket taking off at the best of times, so I can't complain about any additional disk noise even if it existed (which I don't think it does).Short version: nicely packaged, good quality, very decent price, thoroughly recommended.

12 months ago I bought four of the 6tb versions of this drive for my new NAS and they have been rock sold and reliable. As I now needed more space I was quite happy to replace them with another 4x 8tb Toshiba drives.Bad mistake as within 24 hours one of the drives showed a S.M.A.R.T error and went faulty and when replacing another, that one made a grinding noise and wasn’t recognised.So I ordered another two drives to replace them, finished the upgrade and within 12 hours one drive was again reporting as S.M.A.R.T = Bad.So 75% of the drives I purchased were faulty so I had completely lost faith in Toshiba’s reliability.Toshiba seemed to have a serious quality control issue or there was a bad batch in circulation.All the drives came from a batch with Serial Nos beginning 62H0A, from June 2022.So I gave up on Toshiba as the last thing you want with a NAS is dodgy disks.Now ordered 4x Seagate Iron Wolf 8tb NAS drives which hopefully will be more reliable.UPDATEIn the end I decided to give Toshiba drives a 2nd chance as my previous experience with them had been absolutely fine and they are faster than the Seagate Iron Wolf so waited a few days and ordered another another set of four.This time they had a completely different set of Serial number (6270A) so hopefully from another batch.And this time everything has been fine so far with no S.M.A.R.T or other issues fingers crossed.I can only assume that the faulty first batch was an unfortunate one off.So I am happy to recommend them.

I was really impressed with the packaging of this drive, it came in a sturdy box with tons of foam and padding. Tore open the thick foil sleeve insulation and deeply inhaled the sweetish aroma brand new drives arrive with whilst marvelling at the extra weight quality drives have.However, my joy was short-lived. As I turned on the system, my blood ran cold when I heard that horrendous tick tick tick noise of a stuck head...impossible!! Turned the system off & back on, again this jarring ticking, all while the system BIOS hung for much longer than usual. It finally booted and Windows saw the drive. Initialised to GPT fine, next I attempted a format and that's where the wheels seriously came off. Disk Management (in Windows Server 2016) hung solid - no amount of task manager process killing would stop it - literally had to pull the power out. Being the eternal optimist I tried again and as it repeated the same problem I thought briefly of the adage defining insanity - doing the same experiment whilst expecting a different outcome...Its not often that I get a brand new, fresh out the box failed disk but I'd rather have it dead from the get-go than dying a few days or weeks later. Returned to Amazon for credit and replaced with a Seagate Exos Enterprise drive from Scan, which worked flawlessly. I've used Toshiba drives before with no problems so can't say its a quality issue, but certainly their quality control sucks!!

I use it as an external drive. Far cheaper than the equivalent size in made for external use drives.

Sorunsuz bir alışveriş oldu. Ürün hızlı bir şekilde kargolandı İyi paketlenmişti. Mekanik bir disk olduğundan kargosu riskli bir ürün ama elime sorunsuzca ulaştı. Olması gerektiği gibi, Poşeti mühürlü antistatik bir poşette geldi. Bazı yerlerde duyduğum kullanılmış bir ürün filan değildi. Ürün kendisi kendinden beklenilen hıza ulaşıyor. 75, 100mb sn lerde dolanıyor genel olarak. Ama biraz sesli. Normal disklerimden biraz daha fazla bir tıkırdama sesi veriyor. Yoğun yazma ve okuma Eski diskler gibi bariz tıkırdamayı duyrorsunuz. Ama asıl amacı olan Nas cihazına sokarsanız muhtemelen o sesi duymazsınız. Benim gibi kişisel bilgisayara takarsanız "haaa çalışıyor bu" kesin dersiniz :)

Un disque de 8To à moins de 200€ , c'est parfait ... En plus c'est un 7200tr/min donc il est plus rapide que les 5400. Cela justifie de passer le nas à un ethernet à 2,5goBon il fait un peu de bruit mais je m'en fiche

Utilizado para un NAS, no se escucha casi nada, muy buena capacidad para el precio que tiene. En resumen contento después de dar muchas vueltas.

Bien por el momento, llego bien empaquetado. Negativo lo ruidoso que es. Pero con todos.
