Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has announced the addition of new 24 TB models to both its N300 and N300 Pro Series of internal hard disk drives (HDD). The new models offer 2 TB more capacity than current 22 TB versions, making them ideal for increasing the capacity of network attached storage (NAS) and private cloud storage. They are designed for 24/7 operation, feature industry-standard 3.5-inch 7200rpm, 1 GiB buffer, and include integrated sensors to compensate for rotational vibrations.

The N300 Series has a workload rating of up to 180 TB/year with support for up to 12 drive bays, while the N300 Pro Series boasts a workload rating of up to 550 TB/year with support for up to 24 drive bays."Toshiba's 24 TB N300 and N300 Pro set new benchmarks in storage capacity and density, while also enhancing power efficiency through our advanced helium-sealed design," says Koji Sakamoto, Senior Director of Storage Products Sales & Marketing Division at Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation. "These models reflect Toshiba's dedication to innovating HDD design to address the evolving storage demands for performance and small office NAS applications. With files continuing to grow in sizes, the 24 TB capacity will allow NAS users to store and access large volumes of data more efficiently."

The 24 TB N300 and N300 Pro models started to ship this month.
