## Description

From the manufacturer Toshiba Enterprise Capacity Hard Drive – MG Series Designed for your enterprise business As Big Data drives demand for more distributed storage in the cloud and on premises, enterprise server and storage systems need to be built using trusted solutions. Toshiba’s Enterprise Capacity Hard Drive – MG Series offers formatted capacities as high as 18 TB with interface options including SATA and SAS and delivers 24/7 operation at a workload of 550 TB/year. The MG Series is ideal for enterprise storage array and industrial server and storage systems. It provides the capacity and advanced technologies to meet the special demands of datacenter and cloud-scale infrastructures. Use for Business critical enterprise server and storage systems with need for capacity Mainstream enterprise storage arrays (RAID, software defined) Cloud- and hyperscale storage systems Distributed file systems, Big Data Enterprise and cloud archive- and data recovery systems Centralized surveillance data storage systems Industrial server- and storage systems High capacity enterprise storage With formatted storage capacities ranging from 1 TB to 18 TB the MG Series offers hard disk drive solutions for enterprise servers and storage systems with need for capacity. 3.5'' SATA or SAS Hard Drive 24/7 operation Toshiba Stable Platter Technology Persistent Write Cache technology 550 TB/year workload Flexibility in block size and SIE and SED options Rotational Vibrations sensor Integrated RV sensors Regular hard disk drives can impact the performance of a multi-bay system by generating 'knock-on' vibration. The MG Series ensures high reliability by minimising vibration effects through their advanced control and sensing technology. Multiple sensors detect the slightest shock and built-in RV (Rotational Vibration) sensors compensate for any rotational vibration detected, eliminating the possibility of 'knock-on' vibration in multi-bay server systems. Keeping your critical data safe Your data is critical so don't risk it. Toshiba's advanced technologies have been developed to add security to the enterprise user. With Persistent Write Cache Technology your data is safe in the event of an interruption in power supply during a write to the hard disk. Data is saved in the large flash-based cache and written to the disk when power is restored. Advanced Technologies Toshiba’s innovative Stable Platter Technology minimizes vibrations by stabilizing the motor shaft at both ends. And that means improved tracking accuracy and maximum performance during read and write operations. In addition, Toshiba’s Dynamic Cache Technology, a self-contained cache algorithm with on-board buffer management, optimizes how the cache is allocated during read/write to provide the high-level performance demanded by real-time domains. High storage density level The MG08 and MG07 Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) HDDs use a helium-sealed design, providing the power-efficient capacity and storage density needed by cloud-scale and enterprise storage solution providers to achieve their TCO objectives. The MG09 and MG07 Series also utilise Toshiba Group’s laser welding technology to ensure the helium remains securely sealed inside the drive enclosure. The MG09 Series features a 18 TB 9-disk model, while the MG07 Series features both 14 TB 9-disk and 12 TB 8-disk models. Store more - with flexibility Enterprise users need flexibility - the MG Series meets this need with a choice of 6 Gbit/s SATA and dual-port 12 Gbit/s SAS interface options as well as block size on demand (512e, 4Kn, 512n). Additionally, there are options for Toshiba hard drives with Self Encrypting technology or with Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE) technology, which means that in an instant all data is erased, without the need for overwriting the drive for hours. Built to deliver, designed to last Toshiba is renowned the world over for 50 years of leading innovation – and the power behind its range of hard drives is no exception. Designed for high capacity and excellent performance, you can be sure that Toshiba’s wealth of experience in hard drives is at work in your storage system.

Review: Good value for money - I usually buy Western Digital drives but given their recent anti-consumer practices (secretly supplying shingled drives where it used to be CMR, drives which issue a SMART failure after 3 years of operational time regardless of their actual condition and most recently the issues with their SSD subsidy SanDisk where rather than recall defective SSD's they simply cut the price in half in an apparent attempt to get rid of them) I decided to try another brand. As a bonus I managed to snag a discount; desertcart were offering a 20% off voucher and so I got the 4TB model for just under £82, which wasn't bad. It would have been nice if desertcart's packaging had been better, a single layer of bubble wrap in one of those desertcart book mailers isn't adequate, but that said it arrived without dents or obvious external damage. This drive is significantly more noisy than my 10 year old WD Red and even in a sound dampened case I can hear it clicking away. That said it's not particularly loud, completely tolerable even though I'm sitting right next to it and anyway it's aimed primarily at datacenters where this isn't going to be a concern so should probably be expected. Speed ranges from an initial speed of about 238MiB/sec to 98MiB/sec under a full disk write. In practice this disk is pretty fast for spinning rust. It does seem to run a bit hot under heavy load so I'd suggest monitoring it's reported SMART temperature (max 46°C) and relocating the drive / increasing fan speeds as appropriate. As for installation, I do what I normally do with new drives and ran a SMART extended (long) test which took a little under 8 hours. This test reveled several bad sectors and after two more runs with a write in between the bad sector count had somewhat strangely decreased but was still there. The acceptable number of bad sectors on a new drive is zero, and given I probably wouldn't be getting that deal again I decided to avoid returning it and instead raise a warranty claim with Toshiba. Although the web-based claim process was easy there were a couple of snags: it has to be sent to their service center in Germany and thanks to the "no trade barriers" Brexit deal you *cannot* simply print off a CN22 and stick it to the box. Instead you need to print off *3* copies of the supplied proforma invoice, include 2 of them in a clear document pouch ON the box (not IN the box!) and give the third to the courier / parcel shop. Toshiba provide a label, which you print off and then can either arrange free collection or take to a UPS-contracted 'parcel shop' / convenience store. I went with the latter although probably should have just arranged collection; I'm not sure what was going on but I got the impression the store really didn't want to take the package even though it was small. Total turn around time was 5 working days with it sent out on Monday and a brand new replacement back in my hands Friday. Excellent service Toshiba!
Review: Running my games from this, working brilliant! Good price for capactity - I've had this a few months now, I've nearly filled it with games, works brilliant, benchmarks are nothing to shout about, but fast enough to play the latest games on. Noise is reasonable. For the price it's a pretty good deal, just remember the bigger the drive the more space you lose due the the way computer storage is calculated, you're still getting the correct size regardless. On bigger drives like this it's almost 2tb under 20tb, regardless it'll be the same for any 20tb drive you purchase, it's just how it works. *Update, used heavily daily bought March 2024, now Dec 2025, runs perfectly still

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Toshiba 8TB Enterprise Internal Hard Drive – MG Series 3.5" SATA - reliable but LOUD!
*by G***T on 27 December 2024*

I've been using a pair of these drives in my domestic QNAP NAS for over two years. They have rock solid reliability (which is what you want in a NAS) but I must admit they are LOUD. It's like a box of bolts rattling beneath my desk - hence one star off. Consequently they probably couldn't be used in a living room or bedroom environment, but ideally operated in a garden shed at the bottom of the garden! With 8tb SSD's now readily available (but costing much more) I guess that may be the way to go if your budget allows it.
