Toshiba MG09 Series 3.5" 12TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, 550 WRL, SATA III Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Toshiba MG09ACA12TE is a 3.5-inch enterprise hard drive offering a 12 TB storage capacity. It utilizes a 9-disk helium-sealed design and Flux-Control Microwave-Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) technology to achieve high storage density. Operating at 7200 RPM, this drive is engineered for use in cloud-scale infrastructure, business-critical servers, and large-scale object storage solutions. The helium-sealed construction contributes to lower operational power consumption, which is beneficial in data center environments.

Performance is managed through a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s interface and a 512 MB buffer, facilitating sustained data transfer rates of up to 268 MB/s. The drive is built for continuous, 24/7 operation and has a workload rate limit of 550 TB per year. Its reliability is rated for a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours. Integrated features include end-to-end data protection and support for Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE) and Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) security algorithms.
