  • Built for 24/7 surveillance workloads rated at 180 TB per year

Surveillance storage for 64 cameras

The Toshiba S300 is a 3.5 inch 5400rpm SATA internal hard drive built for continuous surveillance recording. It supports up to 64 HD cameras and handles a 180TB yearly workload in always-on environments. Designed for DVR and NVR systems, it delivers reliable performance for home or business security installations.

Thermals noise and power draw

Stable Platter Technology and an RV sensor automatically reduce noise and vibration while maintaining stable operation under heavy multi-camera loads. The drive is rated for 24/7 use and withstands high temperatures and severe weather conditions. Lower power consumption is achieved without sacrificing the sustained throughput needed for constant video recording.

Upgrade from standard desktop drives

This drive replaces general-purpose desktop drives that are not rated for continuous surveillance workloads or multi-drive vibration environments. The jump is worth it when you need verified support for up to 64 cameras and an 180TB annual workload rating. It is not for buyers who need faster random access for operating systems or primary application storage.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5 inch SATA drive and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a 3.5 inch bay, connect the SATA data and power cables, then enable the SATA port in BIOS so the DVR or NVR recognises it.

What maintenance or replacement will the S300 4TB need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the drive once the 180 TB per year workload rating is exceeded or if SMART attributes report reallocated sectors.

What limit appears first during sustained 24/7 recording with 64 cameras?

The 180 TB per year workload rating is the first limit; sustained writes beyond that can reduce the drive's rated reliability.
