Review on 💾 Toshiba N300 8TB CMR SATA NAS Hard Drive - 7200 RPM, 256MB Cache, 3.5-Inch, Internal, 6GB/s - HDWG180XZSTA by Jonathan Devarapalli

Ignore reviews from novice hobbyists who don't know the difference between NAS drives and desktop drives. When used as intended in an eight-drive NAS, the Toshiba N300 series is a very good drive. It has hardware and firmware features specifically configured for NAS use, where it may be subject to vibration and heat from other drives that most desktop drives are totally unsuitable for. To be a "good neighbor," it must also reduce the amount of heat and vibration it generates. Seagate and Western Digital hard drives. I expect to buy a fifth which will increase my usable RAID 6 capacity by 50%.
