Review on ๐Ÿ’พ Toshiba N300 4TB NAS Internal Hard Drive - CMR SATA 6 GB/s 7200 RPM 128 MB Cache - HDWQ140XZSTA by Rachel Marie

4096 byte sectors and works fine

Has 4096 byte sectors (contrary to what other reviewers said) and works fine. It generates heat when reading and writing, making it unsuitable for a small, fanless case (mine got up to 53 degrees Celsius, just 2 degrees below maximum operating temperature). The only NAS server I've used has lots of fans, and its NAS-grade drives put out the same amount of heat. When placing such a drive in a dock, it is common to orient the dock so that the drive is vertical; On this drive I saw a 5 degree Celsius drop when moving my drive from horizontal to vertical. I've attached an image proving it has 4096 byte sectors to refute what another reviewer wrote.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Minor issues
