Toshiba P300 is a hard drive family created by Toshiba. This family consists of rebranded Toshiba DT01ACA, Toshiba DT02 and Toshiba DT02ACA models, and is targeted at standard desktop PC applications, similarly to its competitors Western Digital Blue and Seagate BarraCuda.[4] The 7,200 RPM CMR models cover capacities from 500 GB to 3 TB, while the 5,400 RPM SMR models offer the highest capacity in this family from 2 to 6 TB, in addition to a single 7,200 RPM SMR model. This family was accompanied by the now-discontinued Toshiba E300 family, which carried 5,700 or 5,940 RPM drives, and the Toshiba X300 family, which is also for PCs (albeit of the performance workstation or gaming type) but with capacities 4 TB and greater, and is instead based on binned Toshiba enterprise drives (rather than Hitachi HDA-based drives as with P300).
History
The P300 was one of three initial retail focused 3.5" families, along with the X300 and E300. The first four models were all based on the DT01ACA family from 500 GB upwards, and are 7,200 RPM CMR drives.[1]
In late 2017, to coincide with the release of the Toshiba S300 and Toshiba V300, a new label design was introduced, prominently featuring the family name and simplifying the purpose text from "High-Performance Hard Drive" to "PC".
In December 2019, the first of three SMR drives was released; the 4 TB HDWD240. The 2 and 6 TB models, which are the HDWD220 and HDWD260 respectively, were announced for and released in 2020.[2]
In June 2022, the HDWD320 was released, which is a 2 TB 7,200 RPM SMR drive model. It is based on the TOSHIBA DT02ACA200 which was released at the same time.[3]

Trivia
- This family was formerly distinguished by carrying 7,200 RPM models while the E300 carried 5,000-class models. However, the E300 family was discontinued, and instead the P300 would carry 5,400 RPM SMR models in addition to 7,200 RPM models.
