Toshiba MG09ACA18TE 3.5" 18TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, SATA III Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Toshiba MG09 Series hard disk drive provides 18 TB of storage capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, engineered for enterprise and cloud-scale infrastructure. It utilizes a third-generation, 9-disk helium-sealed design which reduces internal friction and power consumption. The implementation of Flux Control Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) technology allows for increased data density on the platters, enabling its high capacity within conventional dimensions. This drive is intended for systems requiring high-volume, reliable data storage.

Performance is delivered through a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 512 MB buffer, facilitating sustained data transfer rates of up to 268 MB/s. It is built for continuous use, supporting 24/7 operation with a workload rate limit of 550 TB per year. The drive also integrates features such as S.M.A.R.T. monitoring and end-to-end data protection to maintain data integrity during read and write cycles. Its power consumption is rated at 4.16 W during idle states, contributing to operational efficiency in large-scale deployments.
