Toshiba Reveals CMR 24 TB and SMR 28 TB Hard Disk Drives

In a move set to shake up the storage industry, Toshiba has unveiled its latest advancements in hard disk drive technology, introducing both 24TB Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) and 28TB Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) models. These high-capacity drives promise to meet the growing demand for data storage across various sectors, from cloud computing to enterprise solutions and personal use.

Toshiba 24 TB and SMR 28 TB Hard Disk

The MG11 CMR HDD Series enables cloud, data centre, and enterprise storage customers to rapidly scale storage density within existing infrastructure. Built with a 1GiB buffer, the new 24 TB HDD is faster than its predecessor, with an approximately 9% faster maximum sustained transfer speed of 295MiB/s. With a choice of 6 Gbps SATA or 12 Gbps SAS interfaces, the MG11 Series fits seamlessly into any data center to support data storage, online backup and archive, and video surveillance applications. In addition to 24 TB, the MG11 Series is available in 22 TB, 20 TB, 18 TB, 16 TB and 14 TB capacities with sanitize instant erase (SIE) and self-encrypting drive (SED) options for enhanced security.

The MA11 Series achieves 2.8 TB per disk using SMR technology. The MA11 Series host-managed SMR increases drive capacity by overlapping the physical tracks on the disk during write operations. Data centers with software that can optimize the MA11 Series host-managed SMR design will benefit from improved cost efficiencies through higher storage densities. The new MA11 Series is available in 28 TB and 27 TB capacities with a 6 Gbps SATA interface and with SED options for enhanced security.

What Toshiba Had to Say

“Backed by 50 years of continuous HDD innovation, the MX11 series delivers new levels of capacity and total cost of ownership (TCO) efficiency enabling customers to optimize operational costs while expanding their data center infrastructure” said Noriaki Katakura, Division President, Storage Products Division, Toshiba Electronics Components Taiwan Corporation.
