Toshiba MG09SCA18TA Hard Drive 18TB SAS 12Gb/s 7200 RPM 3.5in, 4Kn - MG09 Series

MG09 SERIES CLOUD-SCALE CAPACITY HDD

The MG09 Series provides 18TB of conventional magnetic recording (CMR) capacity. The industry-standard 3.5-inch form-factor provides 7200 rpm performance, and integrates easily into cloud-scale storage infrastructure, business-critical servers and storage, and File and Object storage solutions.

Toshiba’s leadership in precision industrial laser welding technology is put to use to permanently seal helium inside the 9-disk mechanics. The helium-sealed design reduces aerodynamic drag to significantly lower the drive’s operational power profile, which helps deliver critical TCO benefits for data center infrastructures. The sealed design and corrosion-resistant electronics also mitigate against lifetime failure modes due to air bourn pollutants and other environmental factors.
