Toshiba’s Enterprise Capacity Hard Drive – MG Series offers formatted capacities as high as 18 TB with interface options including SATA and SAS and delivers 24/7 operation at a workload of 550 TB/year. The MG Series is ideal for enterprise storage array and industrial server and storage systems. It provides the capacity and advanced technologies to meet the special demands of datacenter and cloud-scale infrastructures. Use for Business critical enterprise server and storage systems with need for capacity Mainstream enterprise storage arrays (RAID, software defined) Cloud- and hyperscale storage systems Distributed file systems, Big Data Enterprise and cloud archive- and data recovery systems Centralized surveillance data storage systems Industrial server- and storage systems High capacity enterprise storage With formatted storage capacities ranging from 1 TB to 18 TB the MG Series offers hard disk drive solutions for enterprise servers and storage systems with need for capacity. 3.5'' SATA or SAS Hard Drive 24/7 operation Toshiba Stable Platter Technology Persistent Write Cache technology 550 TB/year workload Flexibility in block size and SIE and SED options Rotational Vibrations sensor Integrated RV sensors Regular hard disk drives can impact the performance of a multi-bay system by generating 'knock-on' vibration. The MG Series ensures high reliability by minimising vibration effects through their advanced control and sensing technology. Multiple sensors detect the slightest shock and built-in RV (Rotational Vibration) sensors compensate for any rotational vibration detected, eliminating the possibility of 'knock-on' vibration in multi-bay server systems. Keeping your critical data safe Your data is critical so don't risk it. Toshiba's advanced technologies have been developed to add security to the enterprise user. With Persistent Write Cache Technology your data is safe in the event of an interruption in power supply during a write to the hard disk. Data is saved in the large flash-based cache and written to the disk when power is restored. Advanced Technologies Toshiba’s innovative Stable Platter Technology minimizes vibrations by stabilizing the motor shaft at both ends. And that means improved tracking accuracy and maximum performance during read and write operations. In addition, Toshiba’s Dynamic Cache Technology, a self-contained cache algorithm with on-board buffer management, optimizes how the cache is allocated during read/write to provide the high-level performance demanded by real-time domains. High storage density level The MG08 and MG07 Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) HDDs use a helium-sealed design, providing the power-efficient capacity and storage density needed by cloud-scale and enterprise storage solution providers to achieve their TCO objectives. The MG09 and MG07 Series also utilise Toshiba Group’s laser welding technology to ensure the helium remains securely sealed inside the drive enclosure. The MG09 Series features a 18 TB 9-disk model, while the MG07 Series features both 14 TB 9-disk and 12 TB 8-disk models. Store more - with flexibility Enterprise users need flexibility - the MG Series meets this need with a choice of 6 Gbit/s SATA and dual-port 12 Gbit/s SAS interface options as well as block size on demand (512e, 4Kn, 512n). Additionally, there are options for Toshiba hard drives with Self Encrypting technology or with Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE) technology, which means that in an instant all data is erased, without the need for overwriting the drive for hours. Built to deliver, designed to last Toshiba is renowned the world over for 50 years of leading innovation – and the power behind its range of hard drives is no exception. Designed for high capacity and excellent performance, you can be sure that Toshiba’s wealth of experience in hard drives is at work in your storage system. Review: So far so good. For NAS use, this drive is solid. - Usually I buy WD Red Pro's but the pricing is ridiculous. Have had too many Seagate drives fail on me so I was looking for a larger workhorse drive for my NAS to upgrade the one I had. After doing research and finding out that other NAS users are using Toshiba Enterprise MG drives, I purchased one. Fortunately mine was well packaged for shipment and after testing, everything checks out. Spent a day transferring all the data using my Ugreen NAS from one drive to the other and happy to say no problems whatsoever. Toshiba enterprise drives seem to have a good reputation. Would have no reservations in purchasing another one in the future. Review: Don't waste your money - Couldn't give it 0 stars Brought this Enterprise drive as I thought it would be more robust that a standard consumer drive, however it failed after 6 months and once I had transferred all my data and important photographs. desertcart support and seller support have found to be wanting and have both been as much use as a chocolate teapot. Fortunately I had backed up some of the data, what was left I managed to extract most of my important photos from the drive before it totally died, however this was a long long job and I did lose some. Very poor experience all round particularly with the product, seller and desertcart. ## Features - SIMPLIFIED STORAGE - The Canvio Ready 2.5-inch external hard drive is formatted as NTFS for Microsoft Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 and is a favorite of home and business users looking for a device that delivers time and time again - FAST AND CONVENIENT — Powered by SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology, the Canvio Ready portable hard drive requires no software installation, meaning you can get to work immediately and increase productivity - PLUG AND PLAY — With easy to use Plug and Play and Drag and Drop operations at your fingertips, this hard drive lets you quickly transfer music, movies, and photos between compatible devices at a maximum transfer rate of 5 Gbps - Scalable storage — Customize your storage with this external hard drive, including capacities of up to 4TB, and even connect to older hardware with USB 2.0 compatibility so you can access your data across multiple channels - STYLISH, PORTABLE DESIGN - With its matte black finish and slim, compact case, the Canvio Ready hard drive is ideal for users taking their computers, components and accessories on the go without compromising style ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0832BL1HC | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,184 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 18 in Internal Hard Drives | | Box Contents | Power Cord, SATA Data Cable | | Brand Name | Toshiba | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 512 | | Color | Silver | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (1,279) | | Data Transfer Rate | 6 Gigabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 16 TB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04260557511091 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hard-Drive Size | 16 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PlayStation 5 | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 50.8L x 30.5W x 7.6Th centimetres | | Item Type Name | HDD | | Item Weight | 0.8 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Toshiba | | Manufacturer Part Number | MG08ACA16TE | | Model Name | MG Series | | Model Number | 418613 | | Network Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Portable | | Product Warranty | 5 year manufacturer | | Read Speed | 750 Megabytes Per Second | | Specific Uses For Product | Business, Personal | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Toshiba - **Colour:** Silver - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Digital storage capacity:** 16 TB - **Hard disk description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard disk form factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** Serial ATA - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Portable ## Images ![16TB Enterprise Internal Hard Drive – MG Series 3.5" SATA HDD for Server, Storage, 24/7 Operation, Hyperscale, Cloud (MG08ACA16TE) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71k4q76t1kL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it true these are used HDDs and warranty only worth 2 years not 5 as stated? pls don't refer to the advert, customers have reported these are used** A: It depends on the sellers. Some sellers may be selling HDD (with no warranty, used/pull HDD sold as new, etc.). Our stock, however, is 100% new with 5 year warranty. **Q: Does this drive use SMR (shingled magnetic recording)?** A: No the HDD is enterprise class and uses faster CMR track writing. **Q: Bogus description: the blurb for this drive refers to the wrong product : namely canvio ready 2.5 inch, please correct amazon** A: Hello, the seller will need Amazon to update the description. **Q: Title says "toshiba ... 3.5" sata", details say "interface serial attached scsi" & "the canvio ready 2.5 inch external hard drive" what is correct?** A: There are a number of description errors here 1. the model number is wrong, is for 16TB version. 2 is not SCSI but ATA, SCSI are more expensive. I suggest Amazon to sort this out with the seller until then hold. NOTE The model number is critical if you want to use it for NAS units as NAS manufacturer lists only approved drives to be used. I had a different drive model supplied which different to the listed model and NAS rejected the new drive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good. For NAS use, this drive is solid. *by C***H on 14 September 2025* Usually I buy WD Red Pro's but the pricing is ridiculous. Have had too many Seagate drives fail on me so I was looking for a larger workhorse drive for my NAS to upgrade the one I had. After doing research and finding out that other NAS users are using Toshiba Enterprise MG drives, I purchased one. Fortunately mine was well packaged for shipment and after testing, everything checks out. Spent a day transferring all the data using my Ugreen NAS from one drive to the other and happy to say no problems whatsoever. Toshiba enterprise drives seem to have a good reputation. Would have no reservations in purchasing another one in the future. ### ⭐ Don't waste your money *by A***R on 28 April 2026* Couldn't give it 0 stars Brought this Enterprise drive as I thought it would be more robust that a standard consumer drive, however it failed after 6 months and once I had transferred all my data and important photographs. Amazon support and seller support have found to be wanting and have both been as much use as a chocolate teapot. Fortunately I had backed up some of the data, what was left I managed to extract most of my important photos from the drive before it totally died, however this was a long long job and I did lose some. Very poor experience all round particularly with the product, seller and Amazon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast and well priced, is a little louder than my other drives though *by C***K on 19 December 2024* This drive is excellent, 250MB/s writes, 280MB/s reads, perfect for my 2.5GB home network, easily handles 200+ MB/s over the network. It is a fair bit louder under heavy load than my other hard drives, but they are old and much slower and also on 3TB, so not sure if this is just how massive hard drives are these days. I will be buying a 2nd in the coming months. ## Frequently Bought Together - Toshiba 16TB Enterprise Internal Hard Drive – MG Series 3.5' SATA HDD Mainstream Server and Storage, 24/7 Reliable Operation, Hyperscale and Cloud Storage (MG08ACA16TE) - Samsung 980 SSD 1TB PCle 3.0x4, NVMe M.2 2280, Internal Solid State Drive, Storage for PC, Laptops, Gaming and More, HMB Technology, Intelligent Turbowrite, Speeds of up-to 3,500MB/s, MZ-V8V1T0B/AM --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/250824092-16tb-enterprise-internal-hard-drive-mg-series-3-5-sata](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/250824092-16tb-enterprise-internal-hard-drive-mg-series-3-5-sata) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
