The new S300 and V300 series are the latest models to join the internal HDD lineup and showcase Toshiba’s new HDD branding concept.
17 April 2018, Düsseldorf, Germany – Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH (TEE) has unveiled its 2018 lineup of internal hard disk drives (HDDs), which adds two new 3.5-inch[1] HDD families: The S300 Surveillance Hard Drive designed specifically to meet the needs of the surveillance market and the V300 Video Streaming Hard Drive for reliable video recording, editing and streaming. The launch comes at the same time as TEE’s new ‘Write your story’ branding concept for its hard drives, with the internal hard drives now being colour-coded according to application.
The new S300 Surveillance Hard Drive (S300) is a highly-scalable, -robust HDD family that is ideally suited to managing the vast amount of data that comes from an array of up to 64[2] security cameras, which operate 24/7. It is designed for high speed, capacity and reliability to ensure the mission-critical surveillance footage can continually be recorded.
The surveillance HDD family is available in 4, 6, 8 and 10 TB[3] variants – an increase of 2 TB over the 2017 lineup. The S300 has a mean time to failure of 1 million hour; features a data buffer up to 256 MB [4]; implements advanced technologies such as Toshiba’s Stable Platter Technology; and supports large-scale server systems with the ability to back up to as many as 64 high-resolution video[2] streams.
Additionally, the S300 supports 8+ drive bays, has a workload of up to 180 TB per year[5], performs at up to 7,200 rpm with a maximum data transfer speed[6] of 248 MB/s[7], and comes with a three-year limited warranty. The S300 also includes built-in RV sensors to help suppress vibrations in multi HDD platforms. It supports surveillance network video recorders (sNVR), surveillance digital video recorders (sDVR), hybrid sDVR (analog and IP) and RAID storage arrays for surveillance.
