Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced the 10TB MG06 series enterprise capacity HDD model line-up. Toshiba’s new MG06 series offers a 25% capacity increase compared to prior generations, the MG05 series, and enables models to be delivered at multiple capacity points to better leverage capacity refresh qualification cycles for OEMs/ODMs, infrastructure builders, Cloud Solution Providers (CSPs) and system integrators.

In addition to larger capacity, the 10TB MG06 series features a greater maximum sustained transfer rate, 237MiB/s than the earlier MG05 series, as well as a 25% increase in MTTF, with a rating of 2.5M hours. The drive provides a SATA 6Gbit/s interface and 7,200rpm performance. Additionally, the MG06 HDD supports emulated 512 Advanced Format (512e) technology for compatibility with legacy applications and operating environments; or 4K native sector technology for optimum performance in all-disk or hybrid storage platforms.

“CSPs, server and storage vendors and IT professionals face opportunities and challenges from the volume and value of digital data across organisations of all sizes,” said Noriaki Katakura, General Manager of Toshiba Electronics Europe, HDD Business Unit. “With the new MG06 series of enterprise capacity HDDs delivering greater value and performance, Toshiba addresses the diverse needs of today’s cloud and business-critical applications.”

Designed to support higher storage density, the MG06 series HDD introduces 10TB to Toshiba’s line-up while also updating 6 and 8TB capacities. Based on Toshiba’s latest HDD architecture, the new models can save rack space to improve the operational efficiency of cloud-scale infrastructure.

The MG06 series is engineered for mid-line, nearline, and tier two business-critical server and storage system workloads; including servers supporting application workloads that benefit from high capacity per spindle; capacity-optimised data centre storage systems; and enterprise IT and data centre servers supporting workloads per HDD of up to 550TB total bytes written and read per year.

All models feature Toshiba’s Persistent Write Cache Technology for peak performance and enterprise-grade data reliability. Models also support power mode management capabilities that conform to HDD industry standards.
