Toshiba MG04ACA100NProduct 1 TB 7200 rpm 128 MB 3.5" SATA internal hard drive

Enterprise 1 TB SATA HDD

The Toshiba MG04ACA100NProduct is a new 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop and entry-server workloads. It delivers 1 TB of storage on a SATA 6Gbit/s interface with a 7200 rpm spindle speed and a 128 MB buffer. The 512 native sector format ensures compatibility with operating systems and applications that require traditional sector sizing.

Suits bulk storage, not speed-critical tiers

This drive suits users who need cost-effective capacity for backups, archives or secondary data volumes in a standard desktop chassis. It is not for workloads that demand the low latency or high IOPS of solid-state media. Buyers who require hardware-based instant data sanitisation should verify the specific model variant, as Sanitize Instant Erase is offered only on certain MG04ACA-N options.

512 native sector format decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the industry-standard 512 native sector technology. Systems, RAID controllers or legacy applications that rely on 512-byte logical sectors will recognise the drive natively without emulation overhead. Environments that mandate 4Kn or 512e formats will need a different drive.
