Simply good
There's nothing to complain about with this drive. It is also well suited as an all-round hard disk in addition to an SSD.
Pro
- Quiet
- Properly fast
- Not only suitable for NAS
The review is about shipping, for the disc we will see in a year's time.
Is it normal that it is shipped in a large box without any protection (see photo)? Nor is it locked in the HD box (see second photo)?
Contra
- Shipped in an inappropriate box!
Suitable hard disk for NAS Synology DS 216+II
Switched off the NAS, removed the defective hard drive, installed the Toshiba N300 and updated the system without any problems.
Pro
- suitable for Synology DS 216+II
- trouble-free replacement for WD Red Plus
Noisy under sustained heavy loads but high sustained transfer speeds
So it is still soon I guess, but they are fine, they are running 2x2 in RAID 0 and they are doing fine so far. I have a 2.5Gbps link to that storage box, and it is fully used when transferring files to them. However, at first when I hydrated the first 2x4tb raid 0 volume, they were a little noisy, but now is fine. I will get another set.
Pro
- Fast and stable
- Runs well in RAID
- Great price for this performance
Contra
- Noisy at the beginning
TipTop NAS hard disk
Contra
- There are no disadvantages
top for DS920+
Three pcs. à 4TB in a Synology DS920+ without any problems and quietly in use. Previously I had a DS213 with two WD Red à 2TB in use, the noises caused by the WD Red HDs are rather louder than those of the Toshiba N300 HDs.
Pro
- quiet
- fast
Contra
- none
Perfectly suited for RAIDs in continuous operation in NASes or servers
I have already used several of these Toschibas for RAID0 and RAID5/6 and am completely satisfied with the performance and reliability. What I find particularly positive is the large cache, which is a good 2-4x larger than with other manufacturers. And that the throughput of the disks is located in the upper third of the charts, is certainly not to be despised.
Pro
- Fast
- Large cache
- Quiet (when decoupled)
- Reliable
- CMR
