Yes — the Toshiba N300 NAS line is CMR. Toshiba's product specifications list conventional magnetic recording, and the N300 is a 7200 rpm drive rated for 24/7 NAS operation, which makes it a straightforward, safe choice for a RAID array.

Where the N300 fits

The N300 is the value CMR NAS drive: it competes with WD Red Plus and Seagate IronWolf, often at a keen price per terabyte, with a high workload rating and multi-year warranty. Being 7200 rpm it is a touch louder and warmer than a 5400-class drive, but it rebuilds and runs like any CMR NAS drive.

Toshiba's enterprise MG series is also CMR and often excellent value per terabyte if you can accept enterprise noise. Both N300 and MG are fine in RAID. Avoid Toshiba's desktop lines for a NAS, as with any brand. The table lists in-stock Toshiba N300 drives by price per terabyte.
