Toshiba MG11 Series MG11SCA24TE, 24TB 3.5" SAS 12 Gbit/s Hard Drive
The Toshiba MG11SCA24TE is a 24TB enterprise internal hard drive designed for high-capacity data center, server, and storage environments. It features a 3.5-inch form factor, 7200 RPM spindle speed, and SAS 12Gb/s interface for enterprise storage systems.
The drive uses Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) with Toshiba's second-generation Flux Control Microwave-Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) technology. It includes a 1GiB buffer and provides a sustained data rate of up to 309 MB/s.
Designed for continuous enterprise workloads, the MG11SCA24TE supports 24x7 operation and is rated for a maximum workload of 550 total TB transferred per year. It has an MTTF/MTBF rating of 2.5 million hours and an unrecoverable error rate of 1 per 10¹⁵.
The drive uses a helium-sealed design with a 10-disk configuration, helping provide high storage density in the standard 3.5-inch form factor. It supports 512e sector formatting, with 4Kn support available according to Toshiba's MG11 lineup specifications.
