TOSHIBA ELECTRONIC DEVICES & STORAGE CORPORATION LAUNCHES 10-TERABYTE ENTERPRISE CAPACITY HDD

TOKYO, Sept 26 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation today announced the addition of an 10-terabyte (TB[1]) SATA model to its MG06 series of 3.5-inch[2], enterprise capacity class hard disk drives (HDD). Shipments start from today.

The continuing progress of digitization, most recently the quickening expansion of IoT and the increasing reliance on cloud services means that more information is being generated and stored than ever before, and that the rate of its creation only continues to increase. The data centers and cloud-based services that use this data constantly require higher-capacity, higher-performance HDDs. Toshiba’s MG06 series HDDs meet industry requirements by deploying an improved magnetic recording head and disk magnetic layer, and now deliver up to 10TB of capacity with air-based HDDs, a 25%[3] increase over the maximum capacity of the earlier MG05 series. The HDDs achieve a sustained transfer rate of 237 MiB/s[4,5], and a 25%[6] improvement in operating life that boosts MTTF[7] to 2,500,000 hours. These improvements in capacity, speed and reliability can contribute to the lower system TCO (total cost of ownership).
