Works very well
Quiet enough yet still quite powerful. I put it in an old Synology NAS (from 2014) and it does a good job.
Designed for NAS, the Toshiba N300 hard drive offers unrivalled reliability! In the demanding world of mass storage, the N300 ensures optimum performance and meets the endurance, performance and scalability needs of of a 24/7 high-capacity storage system for personal, home office or SME use.

N300 drives guarantee high reliability by reducing vibration through control and sensor technology. Numerous sensors detect the slightest shock, and built-in VR sensors compensate for rotational vibration, reducing the risk of harmful vibration in the multi-bay NAS configuration.
By offering high reliability and scalability, the N300 guarantees a workload factor of up to 180 TB/year, which is up to 3 times more than conventional desktop hard disks.
The use of very robust components is one of the reasons why the N300 series guarantees greater durability than conventional hard drives. In addition, automatic adjustment of the seek speed to reduce heat during any operation involving high temperatures further enhances the robustness of the device in demanding situations.


You can enjoy high performance and accelerated read speed when accessing data shared by many users, thanks to a 512 MB, 256 MB or 128 MB data buffer. This makes the drive suitable for small businesses and content management professionals who are looking for solutions for processing high volumes of data in multi-RAID NAS environments.

Quiet enough yet still quite powerful. I put it in an old Synology NAS (from 2014) and it does a good job.
Following the advice of photographers and other acquaintances, I bought a NAS and these 2 x 16TB drives (one for storage and the other for automatic backup). It's quite practical because I needed to free up space on the laptop and also have a reliable system to store and automatically back up my work files and especially photos locally. Setting it up is fairly simple; it seems like a good solution in my case. To be continued...
Hard drive included in a data backup server, working well, no issues so far. Thank you.
N300 16Tb hard disk recognised without problems in a Synology DS923+ NAS.
No warning message, does not heat up in normal use.
I took 2 x16TB, for my NAS extension. As my main NAS is entirely SSD, I was expecting, especially after reading the reviews, to have HDDs that make their presence felt.
Not at all, they are completely silent. During heavy writing sessions, you can hear a few disk accesses (a low, intermittent noise) but you have to listen carefully.
They heat up more than SSDs (they still have an advantage), which will probably mean more fan noise in the summer, but otherwise these drives almost make me regret having put only SSDs in my main NAS :)
