Toshiba Storage Solutions for the EMEA Region – As big data drives increasing demand for distributed cloud and on-premises storage, enterprise storage and server systems must be built using reliable solutions. Toshiba’s Enterprise Capacity Hard Drive – MG Series offers formatting capacities up to 24 TB with SATA and SAS interface options, and provides continuous operation for a workload of 550 TB/year. The MG Series is ideal for enterprise storage arrays, as well as industrial storage systems and servers. It delivers the capacity and advanced technologies needed to meet the unique demands of data centers and cloud infrastructures.
Suitable for:
Thanks to their formatting storage capacities, ranging from 1 TB to 24 TB, the MG series offers hard drive solutions for enterprise storage systems and servers that require capacity.
Businesses demand more, and the MG series delivers. Every drive in the series boasts a 550 TB/year workload rating, roughly ten times that of the average desktop hard drive. This performance is available around the clock, as continuous operation is built into every drive.
Standard hard drives can negatively impact the performance of a multi-bay system by generating vibration. The MG series ensures high reliability by minimizing vibration through its advanced sensor and controller technology. Using multiple sensors, it detects even the slightest shock. Furthermore, integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors compensate for detected rotational vibration, eliminating the possibility of vibration in multi-bay server systems.
Your data is critical, so don't put it at risk. Toshiba's advanced technologies have been developed to add security and confidence for business users. With Persistent Write Cache Technology, your data is safe in the event of a power outage while writing to the hard drive. The data is stored in the large Flash-based cache and written to the disk when power is restored.
Toshiba's innovative Stable Platter Technology minimizes vibrations by stabilizing the motor shaft on both sides. This results in improved tracking accuracy and maximum performance during read and write operations. Furthermore, Toshiba's Dynamic Cache Technology, an autonomous caching algorithm with integrated buffer management, optimizes cache allocation during reads and writes to deliver the high-level performance demanded by real-time domains.
Conventional magnetic recording (CMR) hard disk drives with capacities of 12 TB or more use a helium-sealed design, providing the power savings and storage density that enterprise and cloud storage solution providers need to meet their total cost of ownership goals. They also utilize the Toshiba Group's laser welding technology to ensure the helium remains securely sealed within the disk housing. The MG11 and MG10 series feature a 10-disk design.
Writing data at the densities required by high-capacity hard drives demands an advanced, innovative, and reliable method. Toshiba's MG11, MG10, and MG09 series hard drives incorporate flow-controlled microwave-assisted magnetic recording (FC-MAMR) technology. This elegant and simple technique uses microwave energy to ensure more write energy is allocated to the platter, enabling up to a 20% increase in areal density capacity. Toshiba's technology uses conventional writing methods while eliminating the drawbacks of other MAMR methods. This allows the MG11 hard drives to achieve capacities of up to 24 TB.
The Toshiba MG11 (14 TB - 24 TB) and MG10 (1-10 TB) hard drive models are designed and manufactured to support 512e or 4Kn sector formats simply by formatting them. This feature, available for both SATA and SAS models, ensures compatibility with both legacy and future systems. By eliminating the need to maintain a stock of HDD models with varying block sizes, cloud-scale infrastructure can streamline inventory management and logistics, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership.
Business users need flexibility, and the MG series meets this need with its dual-port SATA 6 Gbit/s and SAS 12 Gbit/s interface options, as well as on-demand block sizes (512e, 4Kn, and 512n). Furthermore, Toshiba hard drives can also include SED (Self-Encrypting) or SIE (Manufacturer Instant Erase) technologies, meaning all data can be erased quickly without having to overwrite the drive for hours.
