Enterprise 10 TB SAS drive

The Toshiba MG06SCA10TE is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for nearline enterprise workloads. It delivers 10 TB of capacity through a SAS 12Gb/s interface, spins at 7200 RPM and provides a 256 MB buffer for sustained throughput.

Suited for high-capacity arrays, not portable use

This drive fits servers and storage arrays that require 10 TB on a SAS 12Gb/s backplane. Systems limited to slower interfaces or smaller form factors, or users who need removable media, should look at something else.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The drive communicates exclusively over a 12 Gb/s SAS link, so the host controller or backplane must support that exact interface. Without a SAS 12Gb/s connection the drive will not function.

Questions about this item

How much data can the 10 TB capacity actually store in a typical server array?

The drive provides 10 TB of raw capacity, which the operating system will report as roughly 9.1 TiB after formatting; usable space then depends on the RAID level chosen.

What does the SAS 12 Gb/s interface limit in real-world throughput?

The SAS 12 Gb/s link caps the maximum burst transfer rate at 12 Gb/s; sustained throughput will be lower and is governed by the 7200 RPM mechanical speed.

Will the 3.5 inch form factor fit my hot-swap carrier?

The drive uses the standard 3.5 inch form factor, so it fits any carrier or bay designed for 3.5 inch SAS enterprise drives.
