6 TB SATA enterprise drive

This Supermicro Toshiba-IMSourcing MG04ACA is a 6 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and carries a 128 MB cache buffer. The drive is built for midline and nearline business-critical workloads in desktop or server storage bays.

Buyers needing midline capacity

It suits builders who want high-capacity SATA storage for bulk data, backups or archiving in a standard 3.5 inch bay. It is not for systems that require a SAS interface or a spindle speed above 7200 RPM.

SATA 6.0 Gbit/s interface

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA 6.0 Gbit/s interface. The host must provide a matching SATA port and support 6 TB capacity. Persistent write cache technology and 512e advanced format sector support are also implemented on this model.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s drive fit in a desktop chassis that currently holds a 3.5" SATA drive?

Yes, the 3.5" form factor and SATA interface match standard desktop drive bays and cables, so it installs in the same space as your existing 3.5" SATA drive.

Can the MG04ACA 6 TB 7200 RPM drive operate alongside an older 3.5" SATA drive in the same system?

Yes, each drive connects to its own SATA port and the system sees both independently, so your older SATA drive and the new 7200 RPM 128 MB cache drive work together.

How do I verify the 6 TB capacity and 7200 RPM speed are recognised after installation?

Check BIOS or the operating system disk utility; they will report the full 6 TB capacity and the drive will identify as a 7200 RPM SATA model with 128 MB cache.
