3.5-inch Helium Platform CMR Enterprise Hard Drive
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 MG11 and MG10 Series feature a 10-disk platter design.
Toshiba’s unique technology approach
Writing data at the densities required for high-capacity HDDs calls for an advanced, innovative and reliable approach. Toshiba’s MG11, MG10 and MG09 Series HDDs feature Flux Control Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) technology - a simple and elegant technique that uses microwave energy to ensure more of the write energy is focused into the platter, achieving an increase in areal density capability (ADC) of up to 20%. Toshiba’s technology uses conventional writing methods while eliminating the drawbacks of other MAMR approaches, allowing MG11 HDDs to achieve capacities up to 24 TB.
Flexible Format Technology
The Toshiba MG11 (24 TB) and MG10 (22 TB, 1-10 TB) hard drive models are designed and engineered to support either 512e or 4Kn sector formats on one hard drive by simply reformatting. This feature, available for SATA and SAS models, ensures compatibility with both legacy as well as future systems. By eliminating the need to keep stock of different block size HDD models, cloud-scale infrastructure is able to optimise logistics and inventory management to achieve lower TCO.Writing data at the densities required for high-capacity HDDs calls for an advanced, innovative and reliable approach.

Store More - With Flexibility
Enterprise users need flexibility - the MG Series meets this need with a choice of 6 Gbit/s SATA and dual-port 12 Gbit/s SAS interface options as well as block size on demand (512e, 4Kn, 512n). Additionally, there are options for Toshiba hard drives with Self Encrypting technology or with Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE) technology, which means that in an instant all data is erased, without the need for overwriting the drive for hours.
Built to deliver, Designed to Last
Toshiba is renowned the world over for 50 years of leading innovation – and the power behind its range of hard drives is no exception. Designed for high capacity and excellent performance, you can be sure that Toshiba’s wealth of experience in hard drives is at work in your storage system. A 5-year extended warranty is also included with the Enterprise Capacity Hard Drive - MG Series for the ultimate peace of mind.
