X300 marks the spot, as long as it's Pro.
Good performance, particularly at 12TB ; 512MB of DRAM cache from 10-20TB ; Satisfactory 20TB pricing
N300 Pro better priced at 12-18TB ; No standout features or support
The X300 Pro is a solid performer and a good HDD for workstations and desktops, especially when extra capacity and reliability are needed.

Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Excellent data transfer speeds. Good capacity for the price. Runs nice and cool. Very quiet too.
Had a g-sense error of 1 out of the box, however it has not risen above 1, so we'll see how it goes in the long run.

Easy to install and set up
I have two of these drives and both are a little noisy than normal but its not an issue.
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Its extremely fast as it says on the tin. I have tested the read/write against my existing SSD , and to my surprise, its even faster than my 2 years old SSD. I bought it just for data backup but then changed my mind and installed win 10 , its super...
Its a bit noisier compare to my ACZ Agility SSD. Bear in mind you have to format it as GPT partition table to get full 4TB and not in MBR as it only supports upto 2TB.

+ high capacity for the price. +Good speed for a mechanical drive - 120 - 130MB/s easily achieved.
-Slightly more noisy than the Seagate drive it replaced, you wouldn't notice though unless the room was silent. Can't comment on reliability this soon.

It's really quick and has good capacity. If you need space buy this product.
