Work nice and smooth
They are a bit noisy as expected from HDD mechanical drives.
I hope that they are reliable for the long term, lets see
These internal drives were really meant for use by OEM manufacturers or for those (e.g., professional builders of custom computers) who know and follow proper ESD-protection procedures when handling these drives. If you handle or touch them improperly, you can cause ESD damage to the internal circuits of these drives, rendering them inoperable immediately or some time later (known as latent damage, which is an important cause of reduced reliability of the drives), depending on the nature of the damage you caused. With latent damage, you can't predict when the drive will fail. It can fail at any point during your use of the drive. It can fail right after you power it up or it can fail a year or two later. Its basic effect is to reduce the reliability of your drive in some way. That is simply the insidious nature of ESD.
Because of the risk of ESD, you cannot handle and touch the drives like other consumer electronic devices. You need to follow proper ESD-protection procedures. Since, by default, these drives were intended to be used by those know how to properly handle them, the manufacturers do not typically include ESD warnings other than the anti-static bags that they come packaged in. (You can, of course, google for "antistatic bag" to get more information. In the search results, you will see a link to a Wikipedia article about the bag. As an electrical engineer, I can tell you that it is accurate when it describes the purpose of the bag, how it works, and how to handle objects that are contained in those bags. I am not as familiar about the different types of bags that are available.)
The insidious nature of ESD means that the damage can manifest itself in many different ways, so no two ESD-damaged drives will necessarily malfunction in identical ways. When I see people reporting hard drive failures and they are different, especially if there are multiple failures being reported by the same person (especially if that same person reports dead on power-on for multiple drives, whether they were bought at the same or at different times), that is an important clue that ESD damage due to improper handling was the most likely cause of the failures.
The fact that ESD does not always cause immediate failures or problems (but, instead, can cause latent damages which can cause the drive to prematurely fail sooner than the manufacturer's expected life expectancy) unfortunately misleads consumers into false beliefs that they are not causing problems when they do not follow proper ESD-protection procedures.
The above notice comes from my experience as an engineer working for a company that uses ESD-sensitive devices in our products. The company sells to a major customer that uses the products for life-critical applications, where a failure of our product can kill people. (Our products also have internal self-test and diagnostic functions built in to warn of any possible impending failures of internal components, so that the customer can respond before the product actually fails.) For regular consumers like you, that, of course, does not necessarily apply. So you can choose to do whatever you want with the above ESD warning. And, yes, I do understand that vast majority of the consumers like to feel empowered or do not want to pay extra by installing or using these drives themselves.
But do note that if you do not know or follow the proper ESD-protection procedures when handling the hard drives, the drives' MTBF specifications go out the window, which means you can no longer rely on the level of reliability that was designed into them by the manufacturer. The reliability then becomes unknown and most likely will be worse than what they came with before you touched them.
Since the general public most likely do not know the proper ESD-protection procedures, it is not surprising for me to see the one and two-star reviews complaining about drive failures. I would however be wary if the number of those poor reviews is very high compared to the number of four and five-star reviews, since, statistically, not all drives will have catastrophic ESD damages after being handled by their owners. If the drives are designed well, most of the drives should be fine during at least the first one or two years, which falls within the timeline of most of the reviews. This, at least, is my personal opinion and guideline on how to assess the online reviews before deciding to purchase a drive.
And, yes, in case you're wondering, I do follow proper ESD-protection procedures when I handle internal hard drives.
Now, on to my review of the Toshiba hard drive.
Unlike most people, my most important criterion for a hard drive is not performance but reliability. I save files that are important and valuable to me for various reasons. So not losing those files is more important to me than other criteria like the read/write speeds. (For those who say that NAS can mitigate failures of individual drives, I agree. But I also care about the reliabilities of individual drives since, if too many of the them fail within a certain amount of time, even a NAS cannot help you. But that's just me. You can of course do whatever you want. It is your money and your data.)
I originally used Seagate and WD drives years ago. I discovered that most of them failed much sooner than they should have, based on the manufacturers' claims. It seemed that the drives were not made using proper procedures. (I know what kind of QA shortcuts that managers of manufacturing plants can take if they are under pressure from the HQ.) So I began searching online for hard drive brand reliabilities and discovered that HGST was highly rated. During years of using their internal hard drives, not a single one failed on me. This was refreshing after my experience with the Seagate and WD drives. But after HGST stopped operations as an independent company after WD acquired it, I needed to find a different brand. I was not going to trust WD again.
One day I discovered the Toshiba brand of internal hard drives. At that time, there weren't many reviews of those drives. So I decided to take a chance and try them out. I first tried their 4TB drives and now I'm using their 8TB drives. I've been using them for several years now. None has failed on me so far, except for one that came in very badly damaged box (the one that the drive was packaged in; the box itself was shipped in a flimsy plastic bag). That one failed to format and made strange noises, almost as if the internal mechanical moving parts were grinding against themselves. Amazon replaced it very quickly and the replacement has worked flawlessly.
I tried the level 5 (I think it is) byte flipping test and both drives failed to perform with reasonable parameters. I question the methodology employed in shingled magnetic storage drives.
That NAS is offline until the WD Red drive replacement arrives.
I do not trust these…. Thankfully I use a dual redundancy array for my primary NAS. Otherwise I’d be waiting a decade for Amazon’s glacier service to restore my data.
No more Toshiba for me!!!!!
Despite moving a lot of my storage bit by bit over to SSDs, the price for them still isn't great when it comes to raw storage. Gaming is another thing and definitely modern games need SSDs now. So given my increasing video storage requirements with work, I found my 3TB finally getting packed and I needed to get a bigger drive.
Why Toshiba? I don't really trust them too much. History of them gives me a perception of lower quality. However, my last 3TB was going on about 10yrs old and much has changed in the HD industry since then. Seagates and WD now sell 5400 or 5900 RPM drives for the same price as the 7200RPMs. They also are cheapening on the build quality. Given I wanted to go a 6-8TB, I was shocked to find so many dumpster fire drives being sold by them.
That was when I started reading about the N300s by Toshiba. They still build on the tried and true designs that work and for about the same price as the dumpster fires, you get a better built drive. Ratings and reviews back all this up. Do I need a NAS drive? No. But when given the same price for both, I'll pick the better built NAS drive over a dumpster fire any day.
Performance of this N300 has been nice so far. I don't notice any loud operation sounds like others do. Perhaps because my tower already has loud fans so, I don't really care. The N300 is actually quieter than the older drives. Give or take it benchmarks around 200-220MB/sec. Which is plenty for storing video.
Another thing I noticed was simple heft of the drive. I've worked with other drives that were cheaper ones within the last few years and you could feel they were light compared to older drives. This N300 feels like a sturdy older drive. The kind that keeps going well past 10 years.
Overall, my opinion of Toshiba has improved a lot. I'm optimistic that this N300 will hold up. Time will tell but, given how poorly Seagate and WD are making HDDs now, I think my chances are better with the Toshiba than with them. Recommended!

It took FIVE WEEKS to ship out, but arrived in two days once it did. They were nice enough to not charge my credit card until the drive actually shipped. It was well packed too.
Looking today, I see the price has jumped more than $100. I really really hope that's just a temporary spike because I'll be needing more of these soon.
