HDD Toshiba N300 14 TB 3,5 inch Serial ATA III 7200 RPM

The Toshiba N300 14 TB 3.5" Serial ATA III 7200 RPM internal hard drive is designed for continuous, high-capacity storage in NAS and multi-drive systems. With a 14 TB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 512 MB buffer, this drive is optimized for 24/7 operation, reliability and performance in home, home office and small business environments.

Advantages

The N300 provides high durability and sustained performance for multi-bay NAS setups, supporting multi-RAID configurations up to eight drives. Built-in rotational vibration (RV) sensors and advanced vibration control reduce performance degradation in multi-drive systems. Models use high-endurance components and automatic seek-speed adjustment to limit heat and extend lifespan. Helium-sealed variants (larger capacities) lower power consumption and acoustic output, while Toshiba’s Dynamic Cache Technology optimizes cache allocation for read/write workloads.

Suitable for

• Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems
• Desktop RAID arrays and small servers
• Multimedia and media-server storage
• Private cloud storage
• Small business server and backup solutions
