Product Description

The Toshiba MG Series 8TB Enterprise Hard Drive 3.5" SATA 7200RPM (SKU HDD-8TB-TOSHIBA-3.5-SATAIII) is an internal hard drive for storage that never gets switched off.

What each spec means for you

  • 8TB capacity: 8,000GB of space for large datasets, backups, media archives and surveillance storage.
  • 3.5-inch form factor: the drive needs a full-size 3.5-inch bay, not a 2.5-inch laptop-style slot.
  • SATA III, 6 Gb/s: SATA (Serial ATA) is the connection type. Your host needs a SATA connection to match.
  • 7200 RPM: the platters turn 7,200 times a minute (revolutions per minute), giving consistent read and write performance for enterprise workloads.
  • 24/7 continuous operation: designed to run around the clock, which suits systems that must stay operational at all times.

What else you need

This is a component, so it needs a host with a free 3.5-inch SATA bay. That can be a server, a NAS (network attached storage) unit or a surveillance storage platform.

The MG Series is designed for multi-drive configurations. For RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), where several drives work together as one volume, you need a server or NAS that supports RAID and enough bays for the drives you plan to fit.

Where it is used

Enterprise servers, data centre storage, NAS appliances, surveillance storage and large-scale backup systems.
