Product Specification
The MG08SCA16TE is a high-performance hard disk drive manufactured by Toshiba. It is designed for use in enterprise-level storage systems and offers a massive storage capacity of 16 terabytes (TB). The hard drive uses the Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which provides a maximum data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (GBPS). In this article, we will take a closer look at the MG08SCA16TE hard drive and its features.
Capacity
The MG08SCA16TE hard drive has a storage capacity of 16 terabytes (TB), which is equivalent to 16,000 gigabytes (GB). This makes it one of the largest hard drives available on the market today. With its high capacity, the MG08SCA16TE is well-suited for applications that require vast amounts of storage space, such as data centers, cloud storage, and scientific research.
Interface
The MG08SCA16TE hard drive uses the Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed interface designed for use in enterprise-level storage systems. The SAS interface provides a maximum data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (GBPS), which is twice as fast as the previous generation SAS interface. The SAS interface also supports features such as hot-plug capability, which allows the hard drive to be replaced while the system is running.
Spindle Speed
The spindle speed of a hard disk drive refers to the rate at which the platters inside the drive rotate. A higher spindle speed generally results in faster data access times and faster transfer rates. The MG08SCA16TE has a spindle speed of 7200 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is considered a high-speed drive. This makes it well-suited for use in applications that require fast data access, such as online transaction processing, data mining, and scientific simulations.
Form Factor
The MG08SCA16TE hard drive has a form factor of 3.5 inches, which is the standard size for hard drives used in desktop and server systems. The drive is designed to fit into a standard drive bay and can be used in systems that have multiple hard drives installed. The drive also uses the 512E format, which means that it emulates the legacy 512-byte sector size while internally using a larger 4KB sector size. This allows the drive to work with legacy systems while still providing the benefits of a larger sector size.
Compatibility
The MG08SCA16TE hard drive is designed to be compatible with a wide range of server systems. It is important to check the compatibility of the hard drive with the specific server system before purchasing it to ensure that it will work properly. The hard drive is also compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and UNIX.
Reliability
The MG08SCA16TE hard drive is designed to be reliable and durable. It uses advanced technologies such as Toshiba's Persistent Write Cache technology, which helps to ensure that data is written to the drive even in the event of a power loss. The drive also features a large 512-megabyte (MB) cache buffer, which helps to improve the overall performance of the drive by reducing the amount of time the drive spends waiting for data to be read from or written to it.
Power Consumption
The MG08SCA16TE hard drive is designed to be energy-efficient. It uses Toshiba's advanced power management technology, which helps to reduce the amount of power consumed by the drive when it is not in use. The drive also features a low-power idle mode, which allows it to consume less power when it is idle.
