Toshiba MG11SCA24TE 24 TB SAS Hard Drive, 3.5″, 7200 RPM, 1,024 MB Buffer

Toshiba MG11SCA24TE – 24 TB for high-density storage

The Toshiba MG11SCA24TE suits server and workstation builds that need substantial capacity in a standard 3.5-inch drive. Its 24 TB capacity helps consolidate large data sets while using fewer drive bays.

Key specs for your build

Add capacity without adding drive bays

At 24 TB, this drive can hold large volumes of business data, archives or project files in one 3.5-inch bay. That can help increase storage density in server and workstation systems.

The MG11 Series uses conventional magnetic recording (CMR) and a helium-sealed design. Toshiba’s Flux Control Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording technology supports its high-capacity design.

SAS for enterprise storage systems

The 12 Gbit/s SAS interface is intended for compatible server and workstation storage systems. Check your controller and backplane before ordering, as the drive needs a SAS connection.

Also, its 7,200 RPM rotational speed and 1,024 MB buffer support responsive access to stored data. Toshiba rates the MG11 Series for a 550 TB workload and 24/7 operation.

Designed for continuous operation

Toshiba gives the MG11 Series an MTBF rating of 2.5 million hours. This rating supports its role in systems designed for continuous storage workloads. It is a reliability measure, not a promise of individual drive lifespan.

The drive measures 101.8 mm wide, 26.1 mm high and 147 mm deep. It weighs 730 g, so check that your drive bay has room for its 3.5-inch form factor.

Check your system before ordering

• Confirm your system has a 3.5-inch drive bay with sufficient clearance.
• Check that your controller and backplane support SAS drives.
• Confirm your SAS connection supports the drive’s 12 Gbit/s interface.
• Check that your system’s operating environment stays within 5–55°C.
