Using a 9-disk, helium-sealed design, the MG07ACA Series provides both the power-efficient capacity and storage density that’s needed by cloud-scale and enterprise storage solution providers.
“We have raised the bar with the new MG07ACA Series 9-disk helium-sealed design,” said Akitoshi Iwata, Vice President of Toshiba’s Storage Products Division. “By using an innovative design, we’ve improved the benefits that high-capacity disk storage can deliver to our broad global customer base.”
The MG07ACA Series features both 14TB 9-disk and 12TB 8-disk models. The helium-sealed 3.5-inch mechanical design realises better storage density and a lower HDD operating power profile than the previous MG06ACA Series for optimal TCO in cloud-scale infrastructures.
The MG07 Series uses the Toshiba Group’s laser welding technology to ensure the helium remains securely sealed inside the drive enclosure. The drives support a SATA 6Gbit/s interface and 7,200rpm access performance.
The 9-disk 14TB models achieve a 40% increase in maximum capacity over previous MG06ACA 10TB models. In addition, the 14TB models improve power efficiency by over 50% (W/GB).
