Toshiba announces industry´s largest capacity hard disk drives

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 8 (Bernama) – With 33% more capacity than today’s widely adopted 12TB drives, and 14% more capacity than prior 14TB models, Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation’s MG08 16TB drives are compatible with the widest range of applications and operating systems.

The MG08 Series announced today is Toshiba’s second-generation helium-sealed HDD family, and eighth-generation Enterprise Capacity HDD family.

The MG08 features 7,200rpm performance, a 550TB per year workload rating, a 2.5 million-hour MTTF, a 512Mib cache buffer and a choice of SATA and SAS interfaces -- all in an industry-standard, 3.5in form factor.

“Toshiba’s new 16TB MG08 Series delivers new levels of storage capacity and density while delivering improved power efficiency for our cloud-scale and storage solutions customers.

“Only high-density HDD technology can achieve our customers’ critical TCO objectives at a cost of pennies per GB,” said Toshiba storage products sales and marketing division general manager, Shuji Takaoka.

Shipments of samples of 16TB MG08 Series drives to customers will begin sequentially at the end of this month.
