Toshiba Adds 4TB and 6TB Models to 3.5-Inch S300 Series Surveillance HDD

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH addresses the specialist storage needs for small and medium scale surveillance applications with the launch of 2 S300 HDD drives.

The additional models, available in 4TB and 6TB, leverage SMR technology to offer higher density storage solutions. As a result, they are optimised for small/medium scale deployments – allowing higher capacities at a lower cost and power consumption. This means that users can implement surveillance systems that are able to simultaneously meet their technical and budgetary requirements.

The improvements in this series target the increasing demand of flexible scalability for security camera systems, such as network video recorders and digital video recorders. The number of high-definition camera streams has been doubled from 32 to 64. Additionally, the buffer size has been increased to 256MB, thereby enabling smoother data transfer from high-resolution cameras.

Larry Martinez-Palomo, GM, storage products division, explains; “With the latest additions to our S300 Line-up, we are able to fully support the requirements of the surveillance storage market. The new 4TB and 6TB models improve the TCO for small and medium sized businesses while maintaining performance, quality and reliability.“

The 2 additional S300 models are available.
