KAWASAKI,
Japan－Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba)
has announced next-generation S300 Pro Surveillance Hard Disk Drives
(HDDs) targeting the latest requirements in the surveillance storage
market. With capacities up to 10TB[1] and double the buffer size of their predecessors[2],
the upgraded HDDs with conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology
enable surveillance system integrators, system installation providers,
and end users to record, store and analyze their video streams from up
to 64 high-definition (HD) cameras[3].
The highly scalable, 3.5-inch[4] S300 Pro series, with
capacity options of 4TB, 6TB, 8TB and 10TB, now supports up to 24 bays,
and delivers reliable operation even in the most demanding environments,
making the HDDs an excellent fit for large-scale video recording
systems. Compared to the previous generation, they provide a higher
maximum sustained transfer speed of 268MiB/s[5] and double the cache buffer size to 512MiB[6]. They also reduce power consumption, delivering improved total cost of ownership (TCO).
With 24/7 operation, an enhanced annual workload of 300TB[7] and mean time to failure (MTTF) of up to 1.2 million hours[8], the S300 Pro series can handle the increasing video analysis demands of mission-critical surveillance footage.
“Specially optimized for large-scale video surveillance operations,
where advanced video analytics, face tracking and editing are
mission-critical features, Toshiba’s next-generation S300 Pro HDDs
deliver enhanced performance, durability, and 24/7 reliability,” says
Atsushi Toyama, General Manager of Toshiba’s Storage Products Sales
& Marketing Division. “They demonstrate Toshiba’s commitment to
constantly collaborate with industry-leading video surveillance system
manufacturers, and allow our partners and customers to benefit from the
range of high-quality surveillance HDDs in our product portfolio.”
The next-generation S300 Pro Surveillance HDDs are available from August 2024.
