Description
Features and Benefits
The MG07SCA14TE is a 14 terabyte (TB) hard disk drive (HDD) made by Toshiba. It is designed for enterprise use, and has a rotation speed of 7200 RPM. The drive has a SAS interface, which stands for Serial Attached SCSI, and supports a data transfer rate of 12 gigabytes per second (GB/s).
High Capacity: The 14TB of storage capacity makes it ideal for high-capacity storage applications such as data centers, cloud storage, and other enterprise applications that require large amounts of storage space.
High Performance: The drive has a 7200 RPM rotation speed, which allows it to access data faster than drives with a slower rotation speed. The 12GB/s data transfer rate of the SAS interface also helps to improve the overall performance of the drive by allowing it to transfer large amounts of data quickly.
High Reliability: The drive features advanced format technology, which increases the physical sector size on the drive to improve error correction capabilities, and ramp loading technology, which helps to protect the drive’s heads and media from damage during handling and installation. These technologies help to ensure data integrity and improve the overall reliability of the drive.
Wide Compatibility: This part is compatible with a wide range of servers, storage systems, and other equipment that support the SAS interface and is compatible with most operating systems.
Security Management: The drive also includes standard features such as S.M.A.R.T, which allows for the monitoring of the drive’s health and predictive failure analysis, and supports for TCG/Opal security management, which allows for encryption of data stored on the drive, adding extra layer of security.
The Toshiba HDD is designed for high-performance, high-capacity, and high-reliability storage, it is suitable for use in data centers, cloud storage, and other enterprise applications that require large amounts of storage space and high-availability. Its advanced features, wide compatibility and security management make it a versatile and reliable choice for various enterprise environments.
Scalability
The MG07SCA14TE is a 14 terabyte (TB) hard disk drive (HDD) made by Toshiba. It is designed for enterprise use and has a SAS interface, which allows for scalability.
In addition, the drive also supports multiple RAID levels, which is a method of using multiple hard drives to improve system performance, or to provide redundancy in case of a drive failure, also adding scalability to the system.
The Toshiba HDD with its SAS interface, allows for scalability by providing point-to-point connection, supporting expanders, and multiple RAID levels. This makes it a suitable choice for enterprise environments where storage capacity needs to be expanded in the future. The drive can be used in a variety of storage configurations such as JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) and RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) to provide additional storage capacity and data protection. The Toshiba Enterprise Capacity HDD is designed to be scalable, it can be used in a variety of storage configurations such as JBOD and RAID, connected to a SAS expander or SAS switch, and it’s hot-swappable feature allows for easy expansion or maintenance of the storage capacity of a system without shutting down the system.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a computer bus technology that is used to connect computer storage devices such as hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs) to a computer’s system bus. SAS is a faster and more reliable version of the older parallel SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) technology.
SAS uses a serial signaling method, which allows for faster data transfer rates than parallel SCSI. It also uses a point-to-point connection, which means that each device is connected directly to the host bus adapter (HBA) rather than sharing a single bus like in parallel SCSI. This allows for faster data transfer and improved reliability as it reduces the number of devices that can cause contention on the bus.
SAS also has more robust error handling compared to other interface types like SATA. It uses cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for data integrity and supports advanced features such as dual-ported drives, making it well-suited for use in high-availability environments like data centers and servers.
SAS supports scalability by allowing the connection of multiple drives using SAS expanders or SAS switches and supports hot-swapping, allowing the replacement of the drive without shutting down the system.
