I got this drive for media storage. It only has about 700 gigs on it and the read speeds have gotten so low that it has rendered it practically useless. No, my sata lanes are not throttled; I can hook up a 1tb WD on the same port/cable and get over 200 mb/s every time, and I have tried hooking the Toshiba up to every other sata port I have on 3 separate pc's as well as my friend's pc, none of which have changed the read speeds. Eventually I decided to short stroke this hdd into 3 partitions as a last resort hail mary before sending it in for warranty. That has gotten my first partition of 600gb to read/write around 100 mb/s with the other two 1.5tb partitions severely degrading in performance the closer it gets to the platter's middle. It's usable now anyway, that's ... MoreI got this drive for media storage. It only has about 700 gigs on it and the read speeds have gotten so low that it has rendered it practically useless.

It's usable now anyway, that's about the best I can say for it. The first 600 gigs benchmark at 180 mb/s but even when it's short stroked I still get nowhere near those speeds, and even at it's best performance on the short stroke it is still 60 mb/s away from advertised speeds. I have only ever used Western Digital hdd's over my 30+ years of pc'ing, and this is exactly why. Stay far away from this drive. It's a 4 tb drive with only 600 gigs that are actually usable. Pathetic. I'll be sending it in for warranty, but from what I have read, Toshiba's warranty department is flat out garbage and they don't actually send you a new drive, just a check for your purchase price. So if you get this drive on sale, you are doomed. Stay away.

I purchased two of these to use in an External Hard Drive RAID Enclosure. I evaluated these against the Seagate and Western Digital options for this drive size and speed (7200RPM). I have had a few Western Digital and Seagate drives fail in the past so I was not entirely sold on their reliability over other name brands. My experience with Toshiba drives over the years has only been with laptop hard drives but I have yet to see one fail. So far these drives are performing better than I expected. They run cool and fast generating no heat that I can tell. I saw others had complained about the noise these drives make but I have not found that to be an issue at all. I am very please with the performance of these drives so far. These are a higher grade drive than your ... MoreI purchased two of these to use in an External Hard Drive RAID Enclosure.

It's been awhile since I've had a platter drive arrive by carrier, the packaging is interesting. Robust box containing the drive which is encapsulated in a very rigid almost bubble wrap (more robust and bigger air bubbles) sleeping bag, the drive certainly would survive the roughest of UPS/FedEx journeys. I've never had a Toshiba spinning HDD before, I do have a few of their SSD products and they perform very well. I used this drive to replace a couple of Seagate 4TB drives (ST4000DM 000-1F2168) I have in a 16TB array. The response of this drive and its throughput was definitely more than a match for my existing drives, the increase in platter speed of 7200 vs 5900 was very evident. Temperatures remained remarkably low, my Seagates get quite hot in their housing at ... MoreIt's been awhile since I've had a platter drive arrive by carrier, the packaging is interesting.

Temperatures remained remarkably low, my Seagates get quite hot in their housing at this time of year (summer). However, even after a 24 hour copying marathon, it takes a long time to copy 7.2 TB of mixed data, the Toshiba drive was warm but not hot. I foresee that I will replace the other 2x 4 TB at some point in the future as my storage requirements increase and then another two to fill the empty slots, so another 3 x 8TB giving 32TB in total. This array is mirrored so at some point in my future I hope to be financially secure enough to buy 7 of these in total. I suspect I will be buying them in singly. I lost a 500GB drive a number of years ago and I swore I would never not have a mirrored backup again. Based on performance, running temperatures, warranty and Toshiba's proven track record in HDD/SSD this drive deserves 5 eggs.

I bought this HDD for my NAS server. Typically I have always used enterprise level drives such as Ultrastar 7k4000 but I saw this Toshiba N300 on sale and well, you get what you pay for. I installed this drive in my server, booted it up, and after resilvering the RAID setup it worked great for about an hour. Now i get SMART fail tests every 30 minutes (see below) : Apr 6 20:36:24 NASSRVR01 smartd[2086]: Device: /dev/ada0, FAILED SMART self-check. BACK UP DATA NOW! Apr 6 20:36:24 NASSRVR01 smartd[2086]: Device: /dev/ada0, Failed SMART usage Attribute: 7 Seek_Error_Rate. Apr 6 21:06:23 NASSRVR01 smartd[2086]: Device: /dev/ada0, FAILED SMART self-check.

I don't know how I can get a replacement from Toshiba, but I read somewhere that this specific batch (July 2021) had a faulty motherboard so my guess is they dumped it on 3rd parties like Newegg to unload it for a cheap price. Thanks Toshiba!
Let's start with some numbers obtained from CrystalDiskMark 3.0.4 running a 4000MB test size. While empty the drive achieved sequential read and write speeds of 206MB/s and 205MB/s respectively and 4K speeds of 0.75MB/s and 1.75MB/s. With about 1.7TB of data on it the sequential speeds dropped to 182MB/s read and 180MB/s write and the 4K speeds dropped to 0.51MB/s and 1.58MB/s. For a spinning drive, the sequential speeds are good and the 4K speeds are to be expected. These Toshiba drives (the N300 and X300) differentiate themselves from the competitors in one major way, price. These drives are significantly cheaper while still offering similar performance and features. The only area these drives fall behind in is the warranty. This N300 only has a 3 year warranty ...

These drives are significantly cheaper while still offering similar performance and features. The only area these drives fall behind in is the warranty. This N300 only has a 3 year warranty while the higher priced competition has a 5 year warranty. In my opinion, the increase in price is not worth the extra length of warranty. One other thing I have noticed about this drive is that it is a little louder and a little hotter than other drives. When benchmarking and transferring large amounts of data, the HDD is noticeably audible. In terms of heat, I have noticed this drive operating about 3°C warmer than other drives in the same cage. While these things are minor and relatively insignificant on a single drive, many drives together in an array could stack the effects and have a significant impact. Overall, this is a good drive for mass storage in any device at a good price. While it is targeted towards NAS with a continuous use rating, it would work just fine as a standard HDD in just about anything. And in regards to the "RAID support" marketing, I have yet to find a HDD that did not work with RAID.
I am using this hard drive as a primary desktop drive (EXT4 format) running Mageia Linux. The HDWQ140 replaced a PATA Seagate Barracuda ST3500630A, so any comparisons I make are relative to that hard drive. The Toshiba is fast: cold boot times (from power-on to desktop login) have gone from roughly 1 minute 15 seconds to about 25 seconds. Three runs of hdparm -Ttv yielded speeds of around 200MB/sec, in line with what Toshiba reports, so I have no issues with the drive's speed. The HDWQ140's sounds are pitched higher than my old ST3500630A's. When reading/writing, the Toshiba makes a "chir-chir" sound whereas the ST3500630A made more of a "dut-dut" sound. That being said, I do not find these sounds unpleasant, but they are audible. In my particular setup, the major ...

That being said, I do not find these sounds unpleasant, but they are audible. In my particular setup, the major annoyance is a slight "hiccup" every five seconds or so, which I think is a read/write of minimal data, but I do not think this is the fault of the drive; my guess is that either the OS or the programs I am using (or both) are to blame. Toshiba packages the hard drive in a plastic bag (which did not appear to be an anti-static one) and fits it snugly into a 2-piece "sleeve" that has multiple plastic air cushions, so it does seem as if there is no way for it to move around inside the box. There are no SATA cables or screws, so make sure you pick some up elsewhere.
I purchased this drive in January as my DAZ 3D Product library outstripped my previous 3TB drive and I decided to use my 8TB Xbox/PC drive as a backup. I currently have about 4TB full for my DAZ Library and my rendering folder. So far I have no complaints. Loads items from the library quickly, and has more than enough room to expand. My main hobby is 3D Rendering in DAZ Studio and using blender, Zbrush, Marvelous Designer and other products. 8 months in ownership I see no issues with this drive even as I have moved product around a lot to organize my massive runtime library. If I ever hit 7TB I plan to buy another to extend my library, What can I say? It works.
This thing is great for mass storage. Has worked well for us without issue. As with other Toshiba 7200RPM drives, it runs a bit on the hot side. In the poorly ventilated case we use it idles around 45C and when it's in use will ramp up to 53C. Installed a fan right on the hard drive cage because both Toshiba drives were getting hot in comparison to their Samsung and WD counterparts. The drive does have some noise drawbacks as well. It is quite loud even at idle, making almost seek noises. Think 5.25" floppy drive (for those of you that remember those) type of noises. Initially thought something was wrong with it. But it's been chugging along happily since it's been in the machine and we needed the fast and large storage so we can overlook the noise. Took off a star ...

This drive is marketed as a NAS drive, mainly for data backup as that’s what most NAS systems are for. Along those lines, the drive is also marketed as a highly reliable drive, something NAS owners value in a hard drive. Let me just say that over the last 30 years of working with and building PCs, Toshiba drives have impressed me the most for their reliability strengths. When my Western Digitals and Seagates have reliably failed me, my Toshiba drives have always come through. In fact, I have never had a Toshiba drive fail on me, so as far as reliability from my point of view, the name alone is marketing enough. Installing this drive was as easy as any other drive, quickly recognized by my bios and properly formatted. Most of my testing was using the drive directly ...

Installing this drive was as easy as any other drive, quickly recognized by my bios and properly formatted. Most of my testing was using the drive directly through my motherboard. I do have a NAS device that I installed the drive into, and as expected, it worked just fine. Speeds were close enough to the advertised numbers to make me happy, and as far as other points of performance, heat, noise, spin-up, etc. all were easily within industry norms. Some reviews say it is noisy, but I think that the noise that it does make is just at a more noticeable pitch and not necessarily louder. It’s not a big enough issue to consider in my opinion. Using this drive as a system’s main C drive would work fine, although I am a big believer of SSD’s for that purpose. Its 4 terabyte capacity at its current price point is very nice. It comes with a 3 year warranty, though I wouldn’t expect I’d have to use it. Small things like the location of mounting screw holes were accurate and ample. The cables fit tightly and the drive is simple and elegant in the way it looks. I would recommend this drive for any common application and I think it would be a really good drive for using in your Network Attached Storage system, eight of them in fact.
I installed this into my server and first thing I noticed is that it was almost so silent you couldn't tell it was running. My server consist of 4 x 8TB drives so I removed one and installed this then configured it to be part of the server. I noticed as data was reloading it started out at what the specs said it would do about 240MBps. After a minute into it the spend started to drop and within 5 minutes it had dropped to 42MBps. I had over 180 gigs to transfer to it and I really wanted it to go faster but as it was I left the room and came back every 15 minutes to check on it. A couple of hours later the data was finished and it was now a part of my server. How long it is going to last I don't know at this time but will update the review if at anytime during the ...

How long it is going to last I don't know at this time but will update the review if at anytime during the next year or two it goes out. So far I have been lucky in the 3 servers that I run I have only had one hard drive ever drop out and this is in the last 5 years that I have been running them. I have a game server but did not make this NAS hard drive a part of it but instead made it a part of my work server so other employees could have the benefit of it also. On a side note I have hardly any heat coming off this drive compared to my other drives. What surprised me is I use 2 different benchmark programs and they both after testing said this drive is doing 250MBps read and write but during an actual data transfer it was only writing 42MBps after a short time. Benchmarks are great but if in real world data transfers the speed is only a fraction of what is rated then I have to go off the real world data transfers. So for the money you are getting a 8TB drive that runs cool and if you are using in a server after the initial building there isn't a lot of writing to do to the drive just reading it is a decent deal. Matter of fact am probably going to get 3 more of these because of the coolness of the drive alone makes it worth it in my server and also because of the noise factor. I will at lease one server that runs quiet and cool compared to what I am used to.

Offering high reliability and scalability, N300 drives achieve a max. 180 TB/year workload factor, up to 3 times more than convenient desktop hard drives. Temperature control technology, through the automatic adjustment of rotational speed, prevents the build up of heat during demanding operations resulting in sustained drive performance and long-term reliability. Also, the use of high-endurance components is one of the reasons that the N300 Series offers better durability than other conventional hard disk drives.
