Toshiba N300 6TB NAS 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - CMR SATA 6 GB/s 7200 RPM 256 MB Cache - HDWG160XZSTA

They're pretty great, and I rate them well for being Japanese also. Unfortunately they are a bit expensive in the UK compared with other brands. Yes they are loud, they are 7200RPM disks.

I've been running 12 of these in my NAS for the last four years and during that time three of them have failed and needed replacement in the last year (after 3 year limited warranty expired). I don't know how long other brands of NAS hard drives last but with a quoted MTTF of 1,000,000 hours I'd have expected a longer operational lifetime. Note that my replacement drives are not Toshiba, so maybe in another few years I'll know if a roughly 4 year lifespan is the norm for a NAS HDD.

Good value for the money, it can be very noisey at times but its in side the computer so I can live with it, working very well so far. I am happy with it.

Great drives, quiet in use and low power consumption.

Bought this drive for plain storage space in a gaming PC. Being an NAS drive meant for 24/7 operation, this should last many, many years. It also has vibration correction/elimination making it run quietly. Stays very cool also for a 7200 RPM drive. This is my first ever Toshiba drive which are supposed to be more reliable than WD and SG drives of which I have had several failures over the years.

More reliable than other brands/models I have tried.

The first drive was a dud, looked like box was dropped and drive damaged. The amount drives being returned i don't get how Amazon or the vendor don't take care of the drives. Anyhow, replacement drive arrived a few days later. Homeserver picked it up and just works. Transfer speeds are amazing, at times i get 15-20 seconds bursts of over 230Mb/s, fastest drive I own. As far as noise, its in the server along bunch of other drives, it's not any louder than any of the other ones. When spools full speed, yeah you can hear it a bit more, nothing excessive. It does run a few degrees cooler than Seagate drives, and has bit less airflow than the Seagates and Hitachi drives. It's been a great drive, waiting a bit and will get 2 more.

En mi equipo nisiquiera noto el ruido de los hdd. Desempeño muy bueno, es mejor que seagate. Tengo 3 toshiba de 6, 4, 3 años y ninguno han fallado. Este modelo particularmente es silencioso y con uso rudo de carga y descarga constante no ha dado un solo problema. Velocidad de transferencia como se indica casi la ideal en mi sistema.
