Toshiba Launches 8TB N300 NAS Hard Drive

Toshiba has launched a new 8TB NAS hard drive, boasting its fastest data transfer rate yet. The Toshiba N300 NAS range of drives are 7,200rpm HDDs with a 6Gbps SATA interface, 180TB/year workload, 4.17ms average latency, and a mean of one million hours of 24/7 operation before failure. The transfer rates of the N300 drives – also available in 4TB and 6TB models, as announced back in January – are 200MBps (4TB), 210MBps (6TB), and 240MBps (8TB), the latter of which narrowly beats Toshiba’s MN series, which offers 230MBps. According to Toshiba, the performance boost is thanks to the N300’s Dynamic Cache Technology.
