Toshiba launches helium-sealed 24TB and 28TB HDDs
Toshiba announces the Mx11 family of helium-sealed high-capacity HDDs. The Mx11 family includes the MG11 Series, which provides capacities of up to 24TB using conventional magnetic recording (CMR), and the MA11 Series which offers up to 28TB capacities with shingled magnetic recording (SMR).
The new Mx11 family is designed to deliver new levels of density and power efficiency to customers tasked with controlling (or managing) operational costs while meeting the relentless demands of data growth. Built on a common architecture, both products feature a 10-disk, helium-sealed, standard 3.5-inch 7,200rpm design that leverages Toshiba’s innovative flux control microwave assisted magnetic recording (FC-MAMR) technology. Engineered for higher performance and 24/7 reliability, the Mx11 family is designed with a 1GiB buffer, a workload rating of 550TB per year, an MTTF/MTBF of 2.5 million hours, and an AFR of 0.35%. The MG11 CMR HDD Series enables cloud, data center, and enterprise storage customers to rapidly scale storage density within existing infrastructure. Built with a 1GiB buffer, the new 24TB HDD is faster than its predecessor, with an approximately 9% faster maximum sustained transfer speed of 295MiB/s. With a choice of 6Gbps SATA or 12Gbps SAS interfaces, the MG11 Series fits seamlessly i...
