Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH (Toshiba) announces its S300 Pro Surveillance Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) to cover the surveillance storage market. With capacities up to 10TB and double the buffer size, the HDDs with conventional magnetic recording (CMR) enable surveillance system integrators, system installation providers, and end users to record, store and analyse their video streams from up to 64 high-definition (HD) cameras.
The scalable, 3.5-inch drives, with capacity options of 4TB, 6TB, 8TB and 10TB, now support up to 24 bays, making them a fit for large-scale video recording systems, delivering operation even in the most demanding environments, according to the firm. Compared to the previous generation, the new S300 Pro provides a higher maximum sustained transfer speed of 268MiB/s and doubles the cache buffer size to 512MiB. The drives also reduce power consumption, delivering improved total cost of ownership (TCO), according to the firm.
With 24/7 operation, an enhanced annual workload of 300TB and mean time to failure (MTTF) of up to 1.2 million hours, the S300 Pro can handle the video analysis demands of mission-critical surveillance footage, according to the makers. The product comes with an extended warranty period, from three to five years.
Larry Martinez-Palomo, Vice President, Head of Storage Products Division, Toshiba says: โSpecially optimised for large-scale video surveillance operations, where advanced video analytics, face recognition and editing are mission-critical features, Toshibaโs next-generation S300 Pro delivers enhanced performance, durability, and 24/7 reliability. The next-generation S300 Pro Surveillance HDDs demonstrate Toshibaโs commitment to continuously collaborate with industry-leading video surveillance system manufacturers and empower our partners and customers to benefit from our range of high-quality Surveillance HDD portfolio.โ
