MG09 SERIES

CLOUD-SCALE CAPACITY HDD

The MG09 Series provides 18 TB[1] of conventional magnetic recording (CMR) capacity. The
industry-standard 3.5-inch[2] form-factor provides 7200 rpm performance, and integrates easily
into cloud-scale storage infrastructure, business-critical servers and storage, and File and
Object storage solutions.
Toshiba’s leadership in precision industrial laser welding technology is put to use to
permanently seal helium inside the 9-disk mechanics. The helium-sealed design reduces
aerodynamic drag to significantly lower the drive’s operational power profile, which helps
deliver critical TCO benefits for data center infrastructures. The sealed design and corrosion
resistant electronics also mitigate against life-time failure modes due to air bourn pollutants and
other environmental factors.
The massive 18 TB CMR capacity is delivered using Toshiba’s innovative Flux Control
Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) technology. These advances help the Product image may represent a design model.
MG09 Series to achieve optimum storage capacity and application compatibility, with
unsurpassed data reliability. Available with either a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s or a 12.0 Gbit/s SAS
interface[3], the MG09 Series models integrate easily into standard 3.5-inch drive bays to help
reduce the footprint and operational burden of cloud-scale storage infrastructure, File and
Object storage systems, and business critical servers and storage systems.

[1] Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a terabyte (TB) as 1 000 000 000 000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers
of 2 for the definition of 1TB = 240 = 1 099 511 627 776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various
media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software
applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
[2] "3.5-inch" mean the form factor of HDDs. They do not indicate drive's physical size.
[3] Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.
[4] Workload is defined as the amount of data written, read or verified by commands from host system.
[5] SED supports TCG Enterprise SSCs. And the HDDs which have any security function may not be available in the countries where the use of such HDDs is prohibited
or limited due to export control and local regulations.
[6] The maximum sustained data rate and interface speed may be restricted to the response speed of host system and by transmission characteristics.
1 Gbit/s = 1 000 000 000 bits/s. 1 MiB/s = 1 048 576 bytes/s
[7] A mebibyte (MiB) means 220, or 1 048 576 bytes.
[8] Read–modify-write is supported.
[9] Input voltages are specified at the HDD connector side, during HDD ready state.
[10] Make sure the value is not less than -0.3 V DC (less than -0.6 V, 0.1 ms) when turning on or off the power.
[11] The measuring method is based on ISO 7779.
[12] Non-operating condition (except storage condition) assumes short term transportation.
[13] The range of altitude is 3048 m or less. Up to 55 °C at 7620 m. Up to 40 °C at 12 192 m.
[14] Vibration applied to the HDD is measured at near the mounting screw hole on the frame as much as possible.
[15] At random seek write/read and default on retry setting with log sweep vibration.
[16] At power-off state after installation

[17] MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) of the HDDs during its life time is 2 500 000 hours and AFR (Annualized Failure Rate) is 0.35 %. (POH: 8760 hours per one year (24
hours per one day, 7 days per one week). Average HDA surface temperature: 40 °C or less, workloads: 550 TB per one year, which is defined as the amount of data
written, read or verified by commands from host system). Continual or sustained operation at case HDA surface temperature above 40 °C may degrade product
reliability.
