Pros & Cons

Under heavy workloads of doing 2 low quality1080p video feeds and file transfers over the network i noticed that the drive never fell in performance for the video recording side or the speed of transfer

It is worth noting that this is running on a small home server and not a large enterprise area

Toshiba has been fairly reliable for me though i wished the warranty was longer than 3 years though i suppose these are pretty stressed consistently and cheaper at times

The combination appears to be working fine with no problems although this drive is only being used for storage of documents and media not a particularly demanding task

My most recent experience with toshiba drives came from the n300 line

I think the first thing you should know is that there doesnt appear to be any actual mechanical difference between the s300 and n300
