Toshiba X300 HDD Spec and Price in the United Kingdom
SATA4TB7200 RPM
The X300 is Toshiba's desktop performance line: 7200rpm with a 512MB cache and a two-year warranty, per the Toshiba data sheet. It is positioned like WD Black — a faster-spinning 3.5-inch drive for bulk storage with heavy reads — at a lower price, and it is CMR across the lineup. It is a 7200rpm-class drive rather than an NVMe one; the honest use case is game libraries and media storage.
