Toshiba MG07ACA14TA 14TB 7.2K RPM SATA 3.5in internal hard drive

Capacity and interface

The Toshiba MG07ACA14TA is a 14 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. It uses a helium-sealed, nine-disk design and conventional magnetic recording to deliver 7,200 rpm performance. A 256 MB cache supports sustained throughput of up to 248 MiB/s. The drive is rated for 24x7 operation with a 25,000,000-hour MTBF.

Suitable workloads

This drive suits NAS enclosures, desktop RAID arrays, servers and workstations that need high-capacity bulk storage with enterprise-grade reliability. It is not for systems that require solid-state speed or low-latency random access. Builders needing a 2.5-inch form factor or a non-helium platform should consider other options.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the 14 TB capacity delivered through helium-sealed CMR technology. This combination determines whether the drive meets the storage density and endurance requirements of the target array or server.
