12 TB SAS 12Gbps enterprise drive

The Toshiba MG07SCA12TA is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for desktop and server workloads that demand high capacity and a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and uses a 4Kn sector format to deliver 12 TB of storage for bulk data, archiving or near-line applications.

Fits a 3.5 inch bay with SAS backplane

This drive requires a 3.5 inch drive bay and a SAS 12Gb/s backplane or controller to operate. The SAS interface provides dual-port connectivity for path redundancy and frees up SATA ports on the host for other devices. No special mounting hardware beyond standard 3.5 inch screws is needed.

Sustained throughput at 7200 RPM

Under continuous load the 7200 RPM spindle maintains consistent sequential transfer rates suitable for streaming writes and large-file reads. The 4Kn format reduces overhead on large-block workloads while the SAS link handles multiple outstanding commands without the latency spikes seen on single-port SATA drives.

Questions about this item

Does the 7200 RPM spindle speed limit sustained write throughput on this SAS drive?

The 7200 RPM spindle speed sets the mechanical ceiling for sustained write throughput on this SAS drive.

How much heat does the 12 TB SAS drive generate when running continuously?

Heat output scales with the 7200 RPM spindle and 12 TB capacity during continuous operation.

Must my server backplane support 4Kn sectors for this 3.5" SAS drive to work?

Yes, the backplane and controller must support 4Kn sectors for this 3.5" SAS drive to function.
