ToshibaN300 PRO 14TB Large-Sized Business NAS (up to 24 bays) 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - Up to 300 TB/year Workload Rate CMR SATA 6 GB/s 7200 RPM 512 MB Cache - HDWG51EXZSTB

They're pretty great, and I rate them well for being Japanese also. Unfortunately they are a bit expensive in the UK compared with other brands. Yes they are loud, they are 7200RPM disks.

Good value for the money, it can be very noisey at times but its in side the computer so I can live with it, working very well so far. I am happy with it.

This is the standard drive I use in most of my NAS devices. We have a dozen users who use files on the NAS 16 hours a day, 7 days a week and these drives hold up well. In the past five years, out of 24 drives, I have only had 1 fail. I have tried other brands in the past with slightly worse stats. Note: Toshiba manufactures many other brands as well.

Habia escuchado que hacen mucho ruido y la verdad es que no es asi, si bien se escucha cuando esta procesando la informacion el sonido es minimo y no es nada molesto, lo tengo en mi recamara y apenas me percato que se encuentra ahi, no es nada molesto.

Bought this drive for plain storage space in a gaming PC. Being an NAS drive meant for 24/7 operation, this should last many, many years. It also has vibration correction/elimination making it run quietly. Stays very cool also for a 7200 RPM drive. This is my first ever Toshiba drive which are supposed to be more reliable than WD and SG drives of which I have had several failures over the years.

En mi equipo nisiquiera noto el ruido de los hdd. Desempeño muy bueno, es mejor que seagate. Tengo 3 toshiba de 6, 4, 3 años y ninguno han fallado. Este modelo particularmente es silencioso y con uso rudo de carga y descarga constante no ha dado un solo problema. Velocidad de transferencia como se indica casi la ideal en mi sistema.

I had been running a plex server with up to 18TB or so in content. This was split over 3 external usb drives (8TB, 8TB, and 6TB) but I have been running into issues with what appeared to be the drives going to sleep. However, it was the 8TB drives just simply dying, looking at the smart stats they are erroring billions of times. So, I decided to stop buying drives from Costco and just slap in some enterprise drives to my dedicated Plex machine. I paid slightly more than the lowest price for these because I wanted them to be sold by amazon. I have bought other IT items from sellers on Amazon but sometimes you get refurbished gear/drives with it being disclosed.The price per TB is higher than normal, a good price for drives in this size is around $14 per TB. So far these drives are 100% performant regularly hitting 150MBs + and have 0 errors on them. They are rated for way higher usage that I will ever use. As I migrate data and fill up these drives I will buy another as needed.100% recommended.
