THE DIFFERENCES, MADE VISIBLE

Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

Storage capacity

Decimal storage capacity: 1 TB = 1,000 GB. Formatting and system use reduce available space.

Manufacturer specification · Manufacturer-listed capacity; formatting and reserved functions reduce usable storage.

Explore the full specifications

Check the connection before the capacity. M.2 NVMe modules and 2.5-inch SATA drives are not interchangeable. Check the host’s protocol, slot or bay, power connection and clearance. Rated speeds use different test systems; we do not turn them into a speed score or overall winner.

WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Kingston A400

What it brings

  • Rated up to 500 MB/s sequential read and 350 MB/s sequential write over SATA 6 Gb/s, in a standard 7 mm-high 2.5-inch drive with a published average power draw of 0.279 W.

What to check

  • Modest 80 TB endurance and a three-year warranty. Kingston does not state the NAND type, controller or whether it has a DRAM cache, and it needs SATA data and power connections.

Toshiba N300

What it brings

  • Toshiba's own per-capacity datasheet gives the 8 TB model a typical sustained transfer figure of 281 MB/s at 7,200 rpm.
  • Rated for continuous 24 x 7 operation with a 180 TB/year workload, rotational-vibration sensors and CMR recording, which matters for RAID rebuilds in multi-bay NAS units.
  • The EMEA retail kit (HDWG780EZSTA) and bare drive (MN10ADA800S) are both listed on the official page, making the exact variant easy to confirm.
