If you made it this far you are lucky. Do not buy this drive, especially the 12TB one as the one I got did not work. First hard drive I have ever bought (and I have bought hundreds) that did not work out of the box. I mean a lot of people are saying this quits working after a few months or what not, but this one never worked to begin with, just made clicking noises from the very beginning. Not sure how it is even possible that it made it out of the factory. Another reason not to buy, there is no warranty on these because they were sold through a 3rd party, so I did not read the reviews prior to buying but others have mentioned it too, if you go to Toshiba’s website and plug in the Serial Number it will tell you its out of warranty. Oh, and its even a hassle to return now, had to wait for days to get a label, and the return address is in Canada. Stay away from this seller, far far AWAY!

I added this Toshiba X300 Pro 20 TB to my desktop PC to store my media library. Installation was a breeze. Hooked up the cables, started up Windows, created and formatted a new volume with Disk Management – done. At the moment I have about 14 TB of misc audio and video files on it. I mostly just read from it, but I do have some ongoing projects on it as well. Read/Write speeds are quite good, I reckon the 7200 RPM and 512 MB cache help with that. I’ve only had the drive for a few weeks, so I can’t attest to its reliability. If something should happen, I’ll update this review.

It’s hard to write reviews for hard drives after only a few days of being installed. It works well, and is reasonably fast.
If anything changes, I will update this.

As time goes on files get larger. I started computing life on a early model IBM with a blazing 10mb hard drive when most computers had 2 – 360KB drives. Yeah I’m old. Fast forward 35 years later and hard drives have surpassed 20 TB. This 18TB drive will house my personal and work files. I do alot of movie editing and it takes alot of space. The drive itself is fast enough. The only complaint is it is a little chatty. Not distracting per se but you notice it. For the price I paid it’s perfect for my needs.

I have only had this drive for a week. So, I cannot comment yet on durability.
I bought a new Dell XPS8960 recently. They did not have an option for including a large hard drive. So, I bought this 20 terabyte drive. I installed this drive in about 15 minutes. When I turned my computer on after installing it, it found the drive. It was simple to format. I have installed lots of hard drives over the past 30 years, but this was the easiest. I had a little over 18 terabytes of usable storage space in one partition. Windows now makes it easy to have large partitions. I wanted to be able to store large numbers of photographs on one drive.

Truth for You –
For physical platter-style hard drives, quality levels have gone down! But not for the Toshiba X300 Pro. Before I landed on this drive, I tried: • 20 TB Seagate Exos – dead on arrival • 10 TB Western Digital Black – would crash during format no matter what, even in differing OS’s! • 6 TB Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC310 – awesome enterprise drive but came USED and was twice as loud as the Toshiba.
I used this drive to store 12 TB of data from my RAID 5 video content before building a new RAID 5 and then transferred all the data once complete. So it’s first use was dealing with 24 TB of data! And the read/write performance is surprising: I’m getting upwards of 280 MB/s, I’m very surprised… and happy!
