NAS-ready 8 TB storage

The Toshiba N300 HDWG480XZSTA is an 8 TB, 7200 RPM desktop drive built for network attached storage. It targets personal, home-office and small-business NAS deployments that run continuously.

RV sensors and 8-bay scaling

Rotational vibration sensors compensate for transient vibration in multi-bay enclosures. The 3.5-inch form factor fits standard drive trays and the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface connects to common NAS backplanes. Retail packaging is supplied.

180 TB per year workload limit

The drive is rated for up to 180 TB of data written or read each year. Sustained workloads beyond that level may reduce reliability. The SATA interface caps peak throughput at the bus maximum, so sequential speeds cannot exceed that ceiling.

Questions about this item

What does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface cap in practice?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface caps the theoretical maximum throughput at 6.0Gb/s, while the 7200 RPM platters and 256MB cache deliver sustained transfer rates within that limit for NAS workloads.

What physical clearance does the 3.5-inch drive need to fit in a NAS bay?

The drive measures 147.00mm long, 101.85mm wide and 26.10mm high, so the bay must accommodate those maximum dimensions for a secure fit.

How is the drive installed in a multi-bay NAS and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive using the standard 3.5-inch screw holes, connect SATA data and power cables, then enable rotational vibration sensor calibration in the NAS firmware — a step many users skip.
