The X300 family first begun in 2015, with its initial three models, the HDWE140, HDWE150 and HDWE160, representing the highest capacity models Toshiba was producing for desktops at the time.
The X300 family was first released in 2015, with its initial three models, the HDWE140, HDWE150 and HDWE160, representing the highest capacity models Toshiba was producing for desktops at the time. It is one of the three original 3.5" retail families launched in an effort of Toshiba to target the retail market, along with the P300 and [[Toshiba E300|E300]].

In 2018, the first helium models were introduced, namely the [[TOSHIBA HDWR21C]] and [[TOSHIBA HDWR21E]], the second desktop drives to use helium after the [[Seagate BarraCuda Pro]].<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.toshiba-storage.com/about/press-center/toshiba-adds-new-12tb-and-14tb-helium-sealed-models-to-both-the-n300-nas-and-x300-performance-hard-drive-product-line/|title = Toshiba adds new 12TB and 14TB helium-sealed models to both the N300 NAS and X300 Performance Hard Drive product line|date = 6 December 2018|author = Toshiba|access-date = 15 August 2021|archive-url = http://web.archive.org/web/20200814025658/https://www.toshiba-storage.com/about/press-center/toshiba-adds-new-12tb-and-14tb-helium-sealed-models-to-both-the-n300-nas-and-x300-performance-hard-drive-product-line/|archive-date = 14 August 2020|url-status = live}}</ref>
In 2018, the HDWR160, HDWR180 and HDWR11A were released, which are derivatives of the MD06 family. The HDWF180 from 2017 was completely replaced. The HDWE160 was also largely supplanted by the HDWR160, the former only being retained for bulk sales before it too was discontinued in 2021. The HDWR11A introduced a 10 TB option to the X300 for the first time. Later that year, the first helium models were introduced, namely the [[TOSHIBA HDWR21C]] and [[TOSHIBA HDWR21E]], the second desktop drives to use helium after the [[Seagate BarraCuda Pro]].<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.toshiba-storage.com/about/press-center/toshiba-adds-new-12tb-and-14tb-helium-sealed-models-to-both-the-n300-nas-and-x300-performance-hard-drive-product-line/|title = Toshiba adds new 12TB and 14TB helium-sealed models to both the N300 NAS and X300 Performance Hard Drive product line|date = 6 December 2018|publisher = Toshiba|access-date = 15 August 2021|archive-url = http://web.archive.org/web/20200814025658/https://www.toshiba-storage.com/about/press-center/toshiba-adds-new-12tb-and-14tb-helium-sealed-models-to-both-the-n300-nas-and-x300-performance-hard-drive-product-line/|archive-date = 14 August 2020|url-status = live}}</ref> The X300, along with the closely related [[Toshiba N300]], were the first Toshiba families to receive helium drives to retail.


The X300, along with the closely related [[Toshiba N300]], were the first families to receive helium drives to retail. They also were the first to sport 1.6 TB platter drives for the desktop and NAS 4 TB markets. Specifically, the X300 family received HDWR440, HDWR460 and HDWR480, which are all based on 1.6 TB platters, replacing all previous 4, 6 and 8 TB hard drive models such as the HDWR160 above. The MG07-based HDWR21E was also replaced with the MG08-based [[TOSHIBA HDWR31E]].
One year later, the HDWR31G was also introduced, pushing capacity to 16 TB.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.toshiba-storage.com/about/press-center/toshiba-adds-16tb-capacity-to-n300-and-x300-hard-drive-series/|title = Toshiba adds 16TB capacity to N300 and X300 Hard Drive Series|publisher = Toshiba|date = 3 September 2019|access-date = 17 January 2021|archive-url = http://web.archive.org/web/20191228172048/https://www.toshiba-storage.com/about/press-center/toshiba-adds-16tb-capacity-to-n300-and-x300-hard-drive-series/|archive-date = 28 December 2019|url-status = live}}</ref>

The MG07-based HDWR21E was also replaced with the MG08-based HDWR31E.

Toshiba X300 is a hard drive family created by Toshiba. It is Toshiba's workstation and high-performance drive line, prioritising performance and reliability (being based on enterprise drives), in exchange for poorer noise and heat management. This family consists of rebranded MD06, MD07ACA, MG08, MD08-D and MG09 family models; in the past, models based on the MD04 and MD05 were also offered.[1] This family is accompanied by the Toshiba P300, which fulfils a similar product segment but at lower capacities and performance targets, using models that are based on Hitachi HDAs, and the Toshiba N300, which utilises the same platforms as the X300 but for NAS devices. It competes against Western Digital Black and Seagate FireCuda.

This family also includes the subfamily Toshiba X300 Pro, with five year warranties and increased workload ratings. They are distinguished by their full model number (e.g. HDWR480XZSTB) ending with a B, rather than A.

History[edit | edit source]

The X300 family was first released in 2015, with its initial three models, the HDWE140, HDWE150 and HDWE160, representing the highest capacity models Toshiba was producing for desktops at the time. It is one of the three original 3.5" retail families launched in an effort of Toshiba to target the retail market, along with the P300 and E300.

In 2017, the HDWF180 was released.[2] It was the first of three 8 TB models introduced to the X300 family.

In 2018, the HDWR160, HDWR180 and HDWR11A were released, which are derivatives of the MD06 family. The HDWF180 from 2017 was completely replaced. The HDWE160 was also largely supplanted by the HDWR160, the former only being retained for bulk sales before it too was discontinued in 2021. The HDWR11A introduced a 10 TB option to the X300 for the first time. Later that year, the first helium models were introduced, namely the TOSHIBA HDWR21C and TOSHIBA HDWR21E, the second desktop drives to use helium after the Seagate BarraCuda Pro.[3] The X300, along with the closely related Toshiba N300, were the first Toshiba families to receive helium drives to retail.

One year later, the HDWR31G was also introduced, pushing capacity to 16 TB.[4]

In 2021, all models at or below 8 TB, such as the HDWR160 above, were silently discontinued and replaced with new MD08-D based models, namely the HDWR440, HDWR460 and HDWR480, which are all based on 1.6 TB platters. The MG07-based HDWR21E was also replaced with the MG08-based HDWR31E. Later that year, the HDWR51J was publicly released, introducing FC-MAMR to the retail sector along with the N300 relative HDWG51J.[5]

In 2022, the X300 Pro subfamily was released exclusively to the United States by Toshiba Americas Electronic Components. Designed for creative professionals in addition to gamers like the regular X300, it features enhanced five year (as opposed to two year) warranties as well as new MG09 based models for 10, 12 and 14 TB models.[6]

On 21 March 2024, additional models based on the Toshiba MG10-D family were added, namely the HDWR740, HDWR760, HDWR780, HDWR71A as well as Pro equivalents.[7] At a similar timepoint, the HDWR21C, HDWR180 and HDWR160 were confirmed discontinued.[8]

Products[edit | edit source]

All X300 hard drive models have an equivalent desktop or enterprise OEM product line they are based on. In the latter case, the X300 models are binned lower grade units from that line.
