Toshiba has launched the new MG10 series of hard drives, HDDs with an extraordinary capacity of 20 TB using conventional magnetic recording (CMR).
The 20TB MG10 Series features HDDs that utilize a 10-platter helium design and leverage Toshiba’s innovative Flux Control Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) technology to increase storage capacities.
With 11.1% more capacity than the previous 18TB model, the 20TB MG10 Series HDDs are compatible with most applications and operating systems and are suited for mixed random and sequential read/write workloads in both cloud-scale and traditional data center use cases. These drives boast 7,200 rpm performance, a workload rating of 550 TB per year, and the choice of SATA or SAS interface – all within an energy-efficient, industry-standard 3.5-inch, helium-filled form factor.
The 20TB Series further demonstrates Toshiba’s commitment to continuously improving HDD design to meet the evolving needs of storage devices in cloud-scale servers and object and file storage infrastructures. With increased power efficiency and higher capacity, the 20TB MG10 Series will help improve the storage density of cloud-scale installations, thereby reducing CAPEX while enhancing the total cost of ownership (TCO). As data growth continues at an impressive pace, the innovative 20TB MG10 HDDs with FC-MAMRâ„¢ technology will help cloud-scale service providers and storage solution designers achieve higher storage densities for cloud, hybrid-cloud, and on-premise rack storage.
