MG06SCA SERIES
ENTERPRISE CAPACITY HDD
HDD
The MG06SCA Enterprise Capacity HDD models provide capacities up to 10 TB
and 7,200 rpm performance, in a robust design engineered for nearline businesscritical workloads.
The MG06SCA series utilizes industry-standard 3.5-inch
factor and Advanced Format sector technologies for optimum capacity and data
reliability. Toshiba Persistent Write Cache technology
while also maintaining data integrity in the event of a sudden loss of power.
Equipped with 12 Gbit/s SAS interface
help save rack space and reduce the footprint and operational burde n of business
critical servers and storage systems.
512e or 4Kn Advanced Format sector technology models are available. 4Kn models (MG06SCAxxxA) offer optimum
performance and compatibility with 4K-capable applications and operatin g environments. 512e models (MG06SCAxxxE)
are broadly supported today and also help provide su pport for legacy applications and operating env ironments that require
512 B 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 (Persistent Write Cache) with PLP (Power Loss Protection) : 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] Workload is defined as the amount of data written, read or verified by commands from host system.
[6] A kibibyte (KiB) means 2
[7] 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
[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 -0.3V DC (less than -0.6V, 0.1ms) when turning on or off the power.
[11] The measuring method is based on ISO 7779.
[12] Vibration applied to the HDD is measured at near the mounting screw hole on the frame as much as possible.
[13] At random seek write/read and default on retry setting with log sweep vibration.
[14] At power-off state after installation
[15] 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.
・Before creating and producing designs and using, customers must also refer to and comply with the latest versions of all relevant TOSHIBA information and the
instructions for the application that Product will be used with or for.

, or 1,024 bytes, a mebibyte (MiB) means 220, or 1,048,576 bytes, and a gibibyte (GiB) means 230, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.
