Raffle
Crash and win
At CloudFest 2025, the visitors of Toshiba’s booth had the chance to win a QNAP 2-bay NAS with two Toshiba N300 NAS Hard Drives 4TB. For this purpose, we set up a system with 60 Toshiba drives to test how tough they stand up during hot removal. The participants of the raffle had to pull a random drive and if the system crashed, they won.
