Toshiba Electronic Components Taiwan Corporation (Toshiba) has recently unveiled its next-generation S300 Pro Surveillance Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), designed to meet the evolving needs of the surveillance storage market. These upgraded HDDs offer enhanced performance, reliability, and power efficiency, making them ideal for surveillance system integrators, system installation providers, and end users looking to record, store, and analyze video streams from up to 64 high-definition cameras.
The S300 Pro series comes in a highly scalable 3.5-inch form factor, with capacities ranging from 4TB to 10TB. With support for up to 24 bays, these HDDs are well-suited for large-scale video recording systems. Compared to their predecessors, the new HDDs boast a higher maximum sustained transfer speed of 268MiB/s and a doubled cache buffer size of 512MiB. Additionally, they have been optimized to reduce power consumption, ultimately leading to improved total cost of ownership (TCO).
One of the key features of the S300 Pro series is its ability to operate reliably in demanding environments, with an enhanced annual workload of 300TB and a mean time to failure (MTTF) of up to 1.2 million hours. These specifications make the HDDs capable of handling the increasing demands of video analysis in mission-critical surveillance applications.
Noriaki Katakura, Division President of the Storage Products Division at Toshiba Electronics Components Taiwan Corporation, emphasized the importance of these next-generation HDDs for large-scale video surveillance operations. He highlighted their enhanced performance, durability, and 24/7 reliability, underscoring Toshiba’s commitment to collaborating with industry-leading video surveillance system manufacturers.
The S300 Pro Surveillance HDDs are now available starting August 2024. For more information on these next-generation HDDs, interested parties can visit Toshiba’s website.
