Toshiba MG08SCA16TE 3.5" 16TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, 550 WRL, SAS Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Toshiba MG08SCA16TE is an enterprise-grade hard disk drive providing 16 TB of storage capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. It is engineered for use in cloud-scale data centers, mission-critical servers, and large-scale storage systems that require high-density, reliable data storage. The drive utilizes a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface with a 12 Gbit/s transfer rate, facilitating high-speed data communication within enterprise server architectures. Its construction is specified for continuous operation under demanding workloads, prioritizing long-term data integrity and availability.

Performance is delivered through a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a substantial 512 MB cache buffer, which work together to optimize data access times and support sustained throughput. The drive is rated for a workload of 550 TB per year and has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, metrics that reflect its suitability for enterprise environments. Integrated S.M.A.R.T. technology allows for proactive monitoring of the drive's operational health. Power consumption is managed at approximately 4 W during idle states, contributing to efficient data center operation.
