Unlike its industry peers, Toshiba has a rather convoluted way of introducing new hard drives: the company first unveils them globally and only then launches them to the American and European markets. However, with 24TB versions of N300 and N300 Pro HDDs, things became even more complicated, as the company says that it has no plans to launch 24TB drives to Europe due to a lack of demand.
"We are currently observing a manageable demand for NAS hard drives with 24TB storage capacity on the European market," a statement by Toshiba published by ComputerBase reads. "Against this background, we will not be launching the N300 24TB model on the European market for the time being. We continuously analyze the market development and regularly validate our decision on the basis of current needs assessments."
