Toshiba MG Series 20TB SATA Enterprise Hard Drive

EMEA Region, Toshiba Storage Solutions – As Big Data drives demand for more distributed storage in the cloud and on premises, enterprise server and storage systems need to be built using trusted solutions.

Toshiba’s Enterprise Capacity Hard Drive – MG Series offers formatted capacities as high as 20TB with interface options including SATA and SAS and delivers 24/7 operation at a workload of 550 TB/year.

The MG Series is ideal for enterprise storage array and industrial server and storage systems. It provides the capacity and advanced technologies to meet the special demands of datacenter and cloud-scale infrastructures.

Demand more, get more
The enterprise demands more and with the MG Series you get it. Each member of the series has a workload rating of 550 TB/year, which is around ten times higher than an average desktop hard disk drive. This performance is available at any time of the day or night, as 24/7 operation also comes as standard.

Integrated RV sensors
Regular hard disk drives can impact the performance of a multi-bay system by generating 'knock-on' vibration. The MG Series ensures high reliability by minimising vibration effects through their advanced control and sensing technology. Multiple sensors detect the slightest shock and built-in RV (Rotational Vibration) sensors compensate for any rotational vibration detected, eliminating the possibility of 'knock-on' vibration in multi-bay server systems.

Keeping your critical data safe
Your data is critical so don't risk it. Toshiba's advanced technologies have been developed to add security and assurance to the enterprise user. With Persistent Write Cache Technology your data is safe in the event of an interruption in power supply during a write to the hard disk. Data is saved in the large flash-based cache and written to the disk when power is restored.

High storage density level
The Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) HDDs with capacities of 12TB or higher use a helium-sealed design, providing the power-efficient capacity and storage density needed by cloud-scale and enterprise storage solution providers to achieve their TCO objectives. They also utilise Toshiba Group’s laser welding technology to ensure the helium remains securely sealed inside the drive enclosure. The MG10 Series features a 20 TB 10-disk model, while the MG09 Series features a 18 TB 9-disk model.

    Just be careful with warranty on these, it is 100% with the retailer for the entirety, if they try to tell you anything else, it's incorrect (or a willful lie). Ebuyer's reputation over the years has been rather sketchy for warranty support. (edited)

    Great price but i'd be worried about the warranty i understand Toshiba doesn't do RMA's themselves with is bad. I wonder if they have different policies with regards to warranty on ebay, most shops do.

    Toshiba don't sell these direct to the general public as they are not retail drives. They sell to partners, corporates, and OEM's. It is up to those companies to warranty the drives.

    There is no mention of warranty on the Ebay listing but the main website listing says 5 years. I would get it confirmed they will warranty the drive for the full 5 years beforehand as Toshiba definitely will not. If they try to tell you Toshiba will warranty the drive in any way, shape, or form, walk away. (edited)

    I have the 18TB version of this drive as a replication/backup drive in my Truenas box. Fast and quiet - recommended.

    I wouldn’t say quiet. I’ve got the 12tb version of this and the other red pluses I’ve got are way more silent.

    Not as good a price as drives used to be (~£13/tb), but this is very good for current pricing & for an enterprise drive at that, no shucking required!

    It is indeed.
    Finally back to 2022 prices

    So if a drive like this *goes* How likely is it that you could patch the affected disk area and continue using the remaining space?

    Reply re warranty

    The item does hold a 1 year warranty with ourselves before it is then passed to the manufacturers warranty .

    Have you bought it?

    I bought this from Scan back in Jan. It is inside my workstation and quiet enough (though no silent).

    Read/Write over 200MB/s even at 50% full.

    These days I cannot get the drives to stay asleep, too many processes keeping them awake.

    Would this work in a normal PC?
    edp33's avatar
    Yes it is a standard sata connection like other hard drives, for some reason when I ordered it was 284.95 instead

    Was watching an exos x20 20tb and it’s jumped £30 up in a couple of weeks so this bucks the trend. If they confirm the warranty I would buy at this price

    Just had a reply their eBay office closed till Monday so no confirmation till then (edited)
