Toshiba 8TB N300 Internal Hard Drive – NAS 3.5 Inch SATA HDD Supports Up to 8 Drive Bays Designed for 24/7 NAS Systems, New Generation (HDWG480UZSVA)

The Toshiba HDWG480UZSVA N300 Series 8TB SATA Hard Drive offers unprecedented reliability for NAS and other high performance storage systems. It is optimised to meet the reliability, endurance, performance and scalability requirements of 24/7 high-capacity storage for personal, home office and small business use.

Designed for NAS

Toshiba recognises the need for high-reliability disks in support of modern data storage and retrieval demands including streaming, backup and archiving. This 8TB drive, which can support multi-RAID systems with up to eight (8) hard disk drives, allows large volumes of data to be reliably stored and accessed by multiple clients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Integrated RV Sensors

Regular hard disk drives without RV sensors can affect the performance of a multi-bay NAS system by generating ‘knock-on’ vibration. This Toshiba HDWG480UZSVA drive ensures high reliability by minimising vibration effects through its advanced control and sensing technology. Multiple sensors detect the slightest shock and built-in RV sensors also compensate for rotational vibration, eliminating the possibility of ‘knock-on’ vibration in multi-bay NAS configuration systems.

Reliable Always-On Operation

NAS systems in small businesses or creative environments often need to be accessed by several users, at different locations, simultaneously. Therefore, today’s NAS drives must deliver high data transfer rates and simultaneous upload and download 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Offering high reliability and scalability, this HDWG480UZSVA drive achieves a maximum workload factor of 180 TB/year, up to three times more than conventional desktop hard drives.

High Durability and Heat Prevention

Use of high-endurance components is one of the reasons that the HDWG480UZSVA drive offers better durability than other conventional hard disk drives. At the same time, automatic adjustment of seek speed to reduce heat during high-temperature operation further improves endurance in demanding situations.

High Speed for Multi-Drive Environments

High performance and fast read speed is made possible under high data access loads from multiple users thanks to 256 MB data buffer. This makes this 8TB drive suitable for small businesses and creative professionals looking for solutions to handle high data volumes using multi-RAID NAS environments.

Optimised Cache Allocation

Toshiba’s Dynamic Cache Technology, a self-contained cache algorithm with on-board buffer management, optimises how the cache is allocated during read/write to provide the high-level performance demanded by real-time domains.
