Toshiba Electronics Europe has just launched its innovative Mx11 family of helium-sealed Enterprise Capacity Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), setting a new benchmark in data storage. Designed for cloud, data center, and enterprise applications, these drives promise to upgrade storage capacity while enhancing operational efficiency.
Breaking New Ground with FC-MAMR Technology
At the core of Toshiba’s innovation is the Flux Control Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) technology. This enables higher storage densities and faster data transfer rates, making the Mx11 family the ideal solution for handling the wave in data growth. As industries race to scale their data storage capabilities, the Mx11 series promises to deliver unparalleled performance, efficiency, and reliability.
Energy-Efficient, High-Capacity Drives
The Mx11 series is available in two configurations: the MG11 and the MA11 series. The MG11 offers up to 24TB using Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR), while the MA11 pushes the limits with 28TB using Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR). Both variants feature helium-sealed designs that ensure cooler operations and longer lifespans, making them perfect for 24/7 enterprise workloads.
Key Features:
- Massive Storage Capacity: The MA11 offers up to 28TB, while the MG11 reaches up to 24 TB.
- Improved Performance: With a 9% performance boost over its predecessor, the MG11 can transfer data at speeds of 295 MiB/s.
- Reliable and Secure: The drives have a Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) of 2.5 million hours and offer enhanced security with options like Self-Encrypting Drives (SED).
Optimizing Data Centers and Cloud Storage
These high-capacity drives are perfect for organizations looking to reduce operational costs while scaling their storage. The Mx11 series offers improved Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and is an excellent choice for cloud storage, data backup, archiving, and video surveillance. With Toshiba’s commitment to continuous HDD innovation, the Mx11 promises unmatched efficiency for modern storage needs.
Availability and Shipping
- The MG11 series will begin sample shipments this month.
- The MA11 series will start shipping in the fourth quarter of this year.
“Backed by 50 years of innovation, the Mx11 Series delivers new levels of efficiency, allowing customers to optimize costs while expanding their storage infrastructure,” said Larry Martinez-Palomo, Vice President, Toshiba.
