Toshiba 16TB HDD MG08 SERIES MG08ACA16T
ENTERPRISE CAPACITY HDD
Using an industry-leading[1] 9-disk design pioneered by Toshiba, the MG08 Series provides 16TB[2] of conventional magnetic recording (CMR) capacity and 7,200 rpm performance. The industry-standard 3.5-inch[3] form-factor integrates easily into cloud-scale storage infrastructure, business-critical servers and storage, and File and Object storage solutions. Toshiba’s precision industrial laser welding technology is put to use to seal helium inside the 9-disk mechanics. The massive 16TB capacity is delivered using proven CMR recording technology providing optimum application compatibility and data reliability. Available with either a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s or a 12.0 Gbit/s SAS interface[4], the MG08 Series models integrate easily into standard 3.5- inch drive bays to help reduce the footprint and operational burden of cloud-scale storage infrastructure, and business critical servers and storage systems.

- Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1TB = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content.
