Toshiba MG09 3.5" 16TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, SATA III Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Toshiba MG09 Series hard drive is an enterprise-grade storage component designed for cloud-scale server and storage infrastructure. It utilizes a 9-disk helium-sealed design to achieve a high storage density within a standard 3.5-inch form factor. This hermetically sealed construction contains the platters in a stable helium environment, which reduces aerodynamic drag and mechanical friction. This contributes to its power efficiency, resulting in a lower Total Cost of Ownership for large-scale deployments.

This model integrates Flux Control Microwave-assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) technology to deliver 16 TB of conventional magnetic recording (CMR) capacity. It is built for continuous, 24/7 operation and includes features to maintain data integrity under heavy workloads. The drive supports End-to-End Data Protection to guard against silent data corruption and includes a Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE) security algorithm for secure data retirement. These functionalities are intended for professional use cases requiring long-term reliability and data management.
