SKU CH-FQAT-MFHHC

A 20 TB SAS hard drive with 12 Gb/s interface, 7.2 K RPM spindle and 512 MB cache in a 3.5 inch form factor

  • 20 TB capacity supports massive data storage
  • SAS 12 Gb/s interface enables fast enterprise transfers
  • 2K RPM spindle delivers consistent throughput
  • 512 MB cache accelerates frequent read operations
  • 512e format ensures compatibility with legacy systems

Enterprise Storage Drive

The Toshiba MG10SCA20TE is a 3.5 inch hard drive with a 20TB capacity designed for enterprise storage arrays. It operates at 7.2K RPM with a 512MB cache and uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface for high-throughput environments. The 512e sector format ensures compatibility with legacy application stacks.

Deployment Suitability

This drive suits system integrators building RAID arrays, backup appliances or near-line archives that require sustained sequential throughput. It is not for laptop upgrades, desktop gaming rigs or any platform lacking a SAS host bus adapter and 3.5 inch drive bays with adequate cooling.

Deciding Specification

The SAS 12Gb/s interface is the single specification that decides fitment because it requires a compatible controller and backplane that are absent from consumer motherboards. Without that infrastructure the drive cannot communicate with the host system.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 20 TB SAS drive draw during continuous operation?

The 3.5 inch 20 TB drive spins at 7.2K RPM with a 512 MB cache; sustained power draw depends on the host system and workload.

What host connection does the MG10SCA20TE require to function?

The drive uses a SAS 12 Gb/s interface and needs a compatible SAS host bus adapter or backplane with a matching SAS connector.

Can the 512e sector format work with my older RAID controller?

The 512e emulation presents 512 byte logical sectors, so most controllers that accept 512 byte sectors will recognise the drive.
