Product "Toshiba 8TB S300 AI Surveillance Hard Drive"
Toshiba S300 AI 8TB is a surveillance hard drive built for systems running AI analytics. When the recorder is simultaneously doing face recognition, object tracking or plate reading, the drive sees far more random writes than usual — the S300 AI is made for exactly that load.
Key Advantages and Features:
- Up to 64 cameras and 32 AI streams: stands up to a large system running analytics in real time
- 550 TB workload per year: nearly three times that of an ordinary surveillance drive
- 2.5 million hours MTTF: mean time to failure — built for long continuous operation
- OptiFrame technology: firmware that prioritises recording and reduces frame loss alongside analytics
- CMR recording: unlike SMR, write speed does not collapse as the drive fills — important in a RAID array
- 5-year warranty: Toshiba manufacturer warranty

Toshiba manufactures hard drives among other things, including the surveillance-oriented S300 line.
These drives tolerate round-the-clock writing and several camera streams at once — exactly what a recorder demands of a disk.
