Product Description
Toshiba S300 Pro 10TB — a 3.5" SATA III surveillance drive spec'd for DVR/NVR ingest, not desktop duty cycles.
Key specs
- Capacity: 10TB
- Interface: SATA III, 6 Gb/s
- Form factor: 3.5-inch internal
- Spindle speed: 7200 RPM
- Cache: 256 MB buffer
- Duty rating: designed for continuous 24/7 operation
- Workload: multi-camera surveillance recording
Why it matters on a job
7200 RPM plus a 256 MB cache buffer gives the sustained sequential write throughput that continuous multi-stream recording needs, rather than the burst performance profile of a desktop drive. That combination is what makes it suitable for DVR and NVR chassis running several HD camera feeds into a single volume at once.
The SATA III 6 Gb/s interface and standard 3.5" form factor mean it drops into the great majority of surveillance recorders on the market without adapter or bracket issues — check your specific DVR/NVR's maximum single-drive capacity and drive count before speccing multiple units for a RAID or JBOD build.
At 10TB per drive, this is a sensible baseline for retention planning on multi-camera systems where channel count and resolution drive storage math — pair it with the recorder's own capacity ceiling to confirm total array size before ordering.
