Product Description
Toshiba N300 14TB — storage for NAS and surveillance recording
The Toshiba N300 14TB is a 3.5" SATA III hard drive built for NAS bays and video storage arrays that run around the clock. It suits installers speccing recording storage for multi-camera sites, or IT buyers filling out a NAS for office or residential-block file storage alongside surveillance footage.
Why it fits NAS and CCTV recording jobs
On larger installations — retail sites with several days of retention, warehouses running multiple recorders, or offices combining file storage with a surveillance NAS — capacity and drive endurance both matter. At 14TB per drive, fewer bays are needed to hit a given retention target, which simplifies RAID planning in 2-, 4-, or 8-bay enclosures.
