Pros

The n300 is a great storage solution for large video files. It doubles the storage capacity of a 2tb hard drive. It is also great for recording motion activated videos.

Toshiba s300 8tb disk comes with a 3 year warranty. Read/writes well and no failures. It’s fast, no louder than any other hdd i have in use, and the 8tb size is going to be very useful. To use in either capacity of course you have to format it, and ch...  Read More

Good drive, and at under $30/tb. Tbs is a lot of space and it's designed for continuous use in surveillance systems. It is real quiet under use, doesn't get hot, and will hopefully last a long long time.

Quality


But overall i'm impressed with the performance and migration of large files (photos, movies) over.


Overall i am pretty happy with the lack of noise from a 6 tb drive and little vibration that occurs.

Shipping


The shipping on this was faster then prime said and that was great.

Packaging/appearance


Then i attached it in turn to each computer on my network and moved all the resident video files on those machines onto the 8tb drive.

Competitiveness


In the end i installed this in a drobo 53d3 disk array and it works great.

    The drive was the size it said and was plug and play on our security system


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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