Using an industry-leading 9-disk design pioneered by Toshiba the MG08 Series provides 16TB of conventional magnetic recording (CMR) capacity and 7200 rpm performance. The industry-standard 3.5-inch form-factor integrates easily into cloud-scale storage infrastructure business-critical servers and storage and File and Object storage solutions. Toshiba's precision industrial laser welding technology is put to use to seal helium inside the 9-disk mechanics. The massive 16TB capacity is delivered using proven CMR recording technology providing optimum application compatibility and data reliability. Available with either a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s or a 12.0 Gbit/s SAS interface the MG08 Series models integrate easily into standard 3.5-inch drive bays to help reduce the footprint and operational burden of cloud-scale storage infrastructure and business critical servers and storage systems.
