Toshiba X300 is a hard drive family created by Toshiba. It is Toshiba's workstation and high-performance drive line. This family consists of rebranded MD04, MD05, MD06, MD07ACA, MD08ACA and MD08-D family models.[1] This family is accompanied by the Toshiba P300, which fulfils a similar product segment but at lower capacities. It competes against Western Digital Black and Seagate BarraCuda Pro.
History
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.
In 2017, the HDWF180 was released.[2] This was shortly replaced with the HDWR180. The HDWE160 was also largely supplanted by the HDWR160, the former only being retained for bulk sales before it too was discontinued in 2021.
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.[3]
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.
