About this product
Product Information
The Toshiba DT01ACA300 3TB is engineered, manufactured, and supported by Toshiba. With its 3TB capacity, this powerful hard drive lets you store a lifetime’s worth of photographs. You can also store thousands of HD videos and install hundreds of games.The DT01ACA300 is a hard disk that uses a standard 3.5-inch form factor. This large size supports bigger platters and allows heat to dissipate more efficiently. This HDD can support temperatures of up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit but generally runs much cooler than that. The efficient heat performance is due in large part to the fact that the mechanical drive requires only 5.2 watts to operate.This Toshiba hard drive relies on a Serial ATA III connection. At top speed, the platters spin at 7200 revolutions per minute, and this allows for a disk-to-buffer transfer rate of about 1030 Mbit per second. The SATA interface used supports 6.0 Gbit per second. In practice, that will allow for about 600 MB per second from the buffer to the computer. This hard drive also features a 64-MB cache, which speeds up burst transfers. This is far more than most applications require and ensures that you get the data you need exactly when you need it.Toshiba largely intends this 3TB drive for desktop storage. In the most common application, it will occupy a bay in your computer case that is 3.5 inches or larger. From the HDD, just run a power cable to the PSU and a SATA cable to the motherboard. Using this drive in an internal configuration isn’t your only option, however. If you require an external drive, you could use the DT01ACA300 by mounting it in an external enclosure. Used externally, this model will still achieve the same revolutions per minute and other performance benchmarks. This is the same hard drive that Toshiba includes in its desktop PCs. The DT01ACA comes with the necessary power cables, SATA connections, and other accessories.The DT01ACA hard drive is also suitable for use in RAID configurations. Using it in an array can offer a number of benefits, including faster data access and redundancy. You can install it for RAID inside a case. If you have a large number of drives, you can also mount them in a rack to keep your work area tidy.This HDD comes pre-formatted. It also customizable supports advanced format options. This product supports anti-shock technology, which makes it a good option for LAN parties and the like. It even has a halogen-free design. The access headers are also very efficient, which means that quiet operation is ensured even at peak speeds.Product Identifiers

Strong middling
Nothing extremal. Just what I want for personal NAS - quiet enough (small NAS fan sounds louder or similar), cool, spacious (our cam 1h video ~ 8 to 16Gb so we really need something bigger than old 1Tb disk) for reasonable price. I hope it will cover my needs for next 2-3 years. Bonus - it's not only "never opened" - it's absolutely new (assembled in June 2016).Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

3 TB is plenty of storage! but you just have to convert this disk to "GPT format" to use it all, here's how
I wanted this 3 TB capacity disk for external storage, as one of two in a Vantec external drive holder. I thought since this took me some amount of effort to make ALL the drive usable I would pass on how I did it. (Since by default Windows file system will only recognize a maximum of 2 TB unless you change it) Immediately I took it out of the box I hooked it up, powered it on and went to "disk management" to add it - soon as I did, I saw that D.M. could only recognize 2 TB! And it would not allow me to add that extra space, to format it, or to do anything with it. I was sorely perplexed at the idea of losing one entire TB of storage until i found the solution - and it's easy. The fix is that you have to use disk mgt program to "Convert to MBR disk" to get access to all 3 TB... otherwise anything over 2 TB will be "UNALLOCATED SPACE" and unusable. Please know something important: The way I say to do this is ONLY if you want all the space for storage and not to boot to! So if you plan on using your 3 tb disk as a boot disk too, you will want to do it a different way. There's not enough characters in this comment for me to give the instructions, also I never did try to make this disk bootable anyway. So use this only on HDD you want for storage, only, and not for any you want to boot to also). So if you want a storage drive, only, it only takes about 30 sec. to take back all that wasted HD space and this is how you do it. You should start with a blank, unformatted hard drive. To do this, it doesn't matter if you already formatted it or not, but,If you have data on the drive, move it to some other drive first since everything on it will be gone after this. So you've hooked up the drive and powered it on but you can't see it? We have to add it first so go to Control panelComputer managementstorageDISK MANAGEMENT. Right click that and select "rescan disks" and your new disk ought to show up. Disk management will show your new disk in two sections, one 2 TB and another to the right of it, both will show up as "unallocated space". If you were to right click and format the disk (don't do that right now, but it you did)" disk management" will show two partitions, the first one will be 2 tb and the one to the right will show as "UNALLOCATED". And you won't be able to use the second partition until you do the next step, which is to change the file system from the default, to MBR file system.(Actually it's called "GPT" but I'm trying not to muddy the issue here). Anyway, don't format the drive yet; but if you did that already though, just delete that partition. Right click on the empty space portion and select "delete volume"). Now, right click it again and you should see a drop down menu like in the image. Select "Use MBR format" and click that (even though it's greyed out in the picture it shouldn't look like this for you now). The "UNALLOCATED" second partition will vanish and it will show the entire disk as one large partition. Right click again, select "quick format" to format it and make it useable, and that's it.
