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

The Toshiba MG09SCA16TE is an enterprise-class hard drive engineered for cloud-scale storage systems and data center applications. It offers a 16 TB capacity within a standard 3.5-inch form factor, utilizing a helium-sealed chassis to enhance storage density and reduce power consumption. The drive connects via a 12 Gbit/s SAS interface, which is standard for high-performance server environments requiring reliable data throughput. Its construction is optimized for continuous 24/7 operation under demanding conditions.

This model operates at a spindle speed of 7200 RPM and includes a 512 MB buffer to facilitate efficient data handling. Key technologies such as Flux-Controlled Microwave-Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) and a Persistent Write Cache contribute to its performance and data integrity during sustained workloads. The drive is rated for a workload of up to 550 TB per year, making it suitable for high-transaction environments that require consistent read and write access over long periods.
