While hard drives aren’t as fast as SSDs, especially the newer PCIe Gen 5 models, they’re still your only option if you want a high-capacity drive that offers more than 4 or 8TB of storage. They also provide a much better price-to-GB ratio, making a good old spinning drive a good choice for NAS or media storage on a regular PC. Currently, the 16TB version of the Toshiba X300 Performance Desktop HDD series is available on Amazon At an all-time low price of only $298.99.
Toshiba’s X300 Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) drives run at 7200 rpm and are rated at a 55TB annual workload rate and 600K mean time to failure hours. The drive also includes 512MB of cache for improved file performance.
Push the limits of your gaming and creativity with the speed, reliability and capacity of the Toshiba X300 Performance internal hard drive. Optimized to handle advanced graphics and videos, the X300 hard drive is designed to minimize buffering and help eliminate lag so you can be in your game, every time.
Toshiba has also implemented a number of protections to keep your drives and the data stored on them safe and sound. There is an internal shock sensor and ramp charging technology that safely “parks” the read/write heads when not in use to prevent physical contact between platters and heads thus extending the life of the drive.
