TOSHIBA S300 6TB 3.5-inch SATA III Surveillance HDD

Description

Overview

The TOSHIBA S300 6TB is a purpose-built 3.5-inch surveillance hard drive for continuous video recording in DVRs and NVRs. Engineered for 24/7 operation, the drive supports multiple camera streams and is optimised for sustained write workloads typical of security systems.

Key features

• 6 TB capacity in a 3.5-inch SATA III (6.0 Gbit/s) form factor.
• Drive-managed SMR recording technology with a 256 MB buffer and 5,400 RPM rotational speed.
• Designed for surveillance workloads: up to 180 TB/year and support for up to 64 HD cameras.
• Low operating power and quiet idle acoustics for always-on systems; backed by a three-year limited warranty.

This model is supplied in bulk/package variants (bulk MPN HDWT860UZSVA) and is suitable for home or small-office surveillance installations, NVRs and DVRs where large sequential write capacity is required. Because the S300 uses SMR (shingled magnetic recording), it is excellent for sequential video recording but may not be the best choice for workloads that require frequent random writes or certain RAID/NAS configurations without verifying compatibility. Check your recorder/NVR vendor guidance if you plan to use these drives in multi-drive RAID arrays.
