Toshiba MG09ACA18TA
18 TB, 3.5"Product details
The MG09 series features the third generation of Toshiba's 9-disk helium sealing technology, increasing the conventional magnetic recording (CMR) density to 2 TB per disk, achieving a total capacity of 18 TB. The industry-standard 3.5-inch form factor offers a performance of 7200 RPM and integrates seamlessly into cloud storage infrastructures, mission-critical servers and storage, as well as file and object storage solutions.
The massive CMR capacity of 18 TB is enabled by Toshiba's innovative Flux-Control Microwave-Assisted Magnetic Recording technology (FC-MAMR). These advancements help the MG09 series achieve optimal storage capacity and application compatibility, with unparalleled data reliability. Available with either a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s or a 12.0 Gbit/s SAS interface, the models in the MG09 series can be easily integrated into standard 3.5-inch drive bays, reducing the footprint and operational burden of cloud storage infrastructures, file and object storage systems, as well as mission-critical servers and storage systems.
