Toshiba rivela CMR 24 TBC e SMR 28 Unità disco rigido da TB

Toshiba Electronic Components Taiwan Corporation (Toshiba) announces the Mx11 family of helium-sealed high-capacity HDDs. The Mx11 family includes the MG11 Series, which provides capacities of up to 24 TB using conventional magnetic recording (CMR), and the MA11 Series which offers up to 28 TB capacities with shingled magnetic recording (SMR).

The new Mx11 family is designed to deliver new levels of density and power efficiency to customers tasked with controlling (or managing) operational costs while meeting the relentless demands of data growth. Built on a common architecture, both products feature a 10-disk, helium-sealed, standard 3.5-inch 7,200rpm design that leverages Toshiba’s innovative flux control microwave assisted magnetic recording (FC-MAMR) technology. Engineered for higher performance and 24/7 affidabilità, the Mx11 family is designed with a 1GiB buffer, a workload rating of 550 TB per year, an MTTF/MTBF of 2.5 million hours, and an AFR of 0.35%.

The MG11 CMR HDD Series enables cloud, Banca dati, and enterprise storage customers to rapidly scale storage density within existing infrastructure. Built with a 1GiB buffer, the new 24 TB HDD is faster than its predecessor, with an approximately 9% faster maximum sustained transfer speed of 295MiB/s. With a choice of 6 Gbps SATA or 12 Gbps SAS interfaces, the MG11 Series fits seamlessly into any data center to support data storage, online backup and archive, and video surveillance applications. In addition to 24 TB, the MG11 Series is available in 22 TB, 20 TB, 18 TB, 16 TB and 14 TB capacities with sanitize instant erase (VOI) and self-encrypting drive (SED) options for enhanced security.

The MA11 Series achieves 2.8 TB per disk using SMR technology. The MA11 Series host-managed SMR increases drive capacity by overlapping the physical tracks on the disk during write operations. Data centers with software that can optimize the MA11 Series host-managed SMR design will benefit from improved cost efficiencies through higher storage densities. The new MA11 Series is available in 28 TB and 27 TB capacities with a 6 Gbps SATA interface and with SED options for enhanced security.

“Backed by 50 years of continuous HDD innovation, the MX11 series delivers new levels of capacity and total cost of ownership (ha annunciato oggi l'intenzione di espandere il proprio portafoglio di SSD di nuova generazione ad alte prestazioni) efficiency enabling customers to optimize operational costs while expanding their data center infrastructure” said Noriaki Katakura, Division President, Storage Products Division, Toshiba Electronics Components Taiwan Corporation.

Sample shipments of the MG11 Series will start this month, and the MA11 Series in the fourth calendar quarter of this year.
