MG06ACA SERIES
ENTERPRISE CAPACITY HDD
The MG06ACA Enterprise Capacity HDD models provides up to 10TB
[1]
of capacity and 7,200
Advanced Format sector technology models are available. 4Kn sector models
rpm performance, in a robust design engineered for nearline business-critical workloads.
The MG06ACA model generation utilizes industry-standard 3.5-inch
factor and Advanced Format sector technologies for optimum capacity and data reliability.
Models support Toshiba Persistent Write Cache technology
performance while assuring the consistency of write operations in the ev ent of a sudden loss
of power. Equipped with SATA 6.0 Gbit/s
models help to save rack space and reduce the footprint an d operational burden of business
critical servers and storage systems.
The MG06ACA Series improves sustained transfer rate performance to 237 MiB/s
increases MTTF
(MG06ACAxxxA) offer suitable performance and compatibility with the 4Kn-capable
applications and operating environments. 512e sector models (MG06ACAxxxE) provide
support for legacy applications and operating environments that require 512 byte sector
lengths.

[1] Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and 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 1GB = 2
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] "2.5-inch" and "3.5-inch" mean the form factor of HDDs or SSDs. They do not indicate drive's physical size.
[3] PWC with PLP is a function to handle the write data that the drive reports "Normal completion" to the host but not being stored to hard disk media yet. The write data
may be written to the commanded LBA on the hard disk media. The un-written data to hard disk media is stored to Flash memory using back up power by PLP when
the power supply to the drive suddenly is shut down. And, after PLP operation, it may be required more time to start up the drive than in case of normal shutdown. 1)
PLP does not secure data in the mode of all the power shutdowns. When power supplies other than recommended procedure are intercepted, data might be lost. 2)
In the power shutdown before it reports on the Write completion, data not anticipated might be lost.
[4] Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.
[5] A kibibyte (KiB) means 2
[6] MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which
may not accurately reflect actual operation. Actual operating life of the product may be different from the MTTF.
[7] Workload is defined as the amount of data written, read or verified by commands from host system.
[8] SIE: Sanitize Instant Erase. SIE is a function to invalidate the data recorded on the magnetic disks at a blink.
[9] Read–modify-write is supported.
[10] Input voltages are specified at the HDD connector side, during HDD ready state.
[11] Make sure the value is not less than -0.3V DC (less than -0.6V, 0.1ms) when turning o n or off the power.
[12] The measuring method is based on ISO 7779. Idle is active idle mode
[13] Vibration applied to the HDD is measured at near the mounting screw hole on the frame as much as possible.
[14] At random seek write/read and default on retry setting with log sweep vibration.
[15] At power-off state after installation

, or 1,024 bytes, a mebibyte (MiB) means 220, or 1,048,576 bytes, and a gibibyte (GiB) means 230, or 1,073,471,824 bytes.
