Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") today announced six new series of internal hard drives for the consumer market: P300 Desktop PC Hard Drives, L200 Laptop PC Hard Drives, X300 Performance Hard Drives, and N300 NAS Hard Drives.

The P300 Desktop PC Hard Drive series offers high performance ideal for home and business users and is available with up to 3 TB of storage capacity. They operate at 7,200 rpm and have built-in shock sensors that detect impacts and reduce vibration during read and write operations, improving tracking accuracy and performance.



The L200 Laptop PC Hard Drive series delivers up to 2 TB capacity in 2.5-inch mobile drives and delivers better shock and vibration resistance than 3.5-inch hard drives and works with every major brand of laptop computer. They are also suited for use as external storage. The L200 line-up has a lower power profile than 3.5-inch hard drives, to help optimize the device's battery life. All models have a built-in shock sensor and ramp loading technology to support reliability.

The X300 Performance Hard Drive series offers up to 10 TB capacity and features Toshiba's cache technology, optimizing cache allocation during read/write to provide high-level real-time performance. Available in a 3.5-inch form factor, the X300 drives operate at 7,200rpm and have a cache memory of up to 256 MB. The series delivers extreme performance and robust capacity for creative and professional applications including graphic design, animation, photo and video editing, and PC gaming.

The N300 NAS Hard Drive series, for personal, home office and small business network attached storage (NAS) applications, is available in capacities of up to 10 TB, and features 7,200rpm and a large 256 MB data buffer in 10 TB model. N300 is highly scalable, able to support up to eight drive bays in a multi-RAID NAS design, and can be configured in NAS by users as their data storage needs evolve. The drives are highly reliable, with a high workload rating of up to 180 TB/year; they are optimized for the performance, reliability, endurance and scalability required of NAS environments in which large amounts of data need to be efficiently stored and accessed daily.

In addition, Toshiba introduces color branding for each category in the consumer internal hard drive line-up. The new category colors will be displayed on the drive labels and retail shelf packaging to clearly communicate category of use and device application.

The color labeling for each hard drive is as follows: both P300 and L200 in a red desktop/laptop PC label; X300 in a silver performance label, N300 in a gold NAS label; S300 in a green surveillance label, and the V300 in a blue video streaming label.

The consumer friendly, easy-to-identify color coded drive labels and retail shelf packaging will make it easy for consumers to shop for the drive they need.

What.. I've had two X300s for a while. Are these new ones any different?
 
No 3,5" with 5400 rpm...
Still will stick to Seagate to maintain quietness of NAS.
 
I use the N300s i love them
 
And of course these [color codes] have to be different than WD drives. :banghead:
 
Been using E300 drives for a while now. Great for home storage of video, audio and other files. Inaudible and pretty fast, too.
 
Everyone are releasing new HDD's but prices have been stable for a while now, specially 6 & 8TB drives
