Enterprise Nearline Storage

This Toshiba MG03SCA200 is a 2TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for 24x7 operation in servers and storage arrays. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 64MB cache and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The bare-drive unit measures 147 mm long, 101.6 mm wide and 26.1 mm high.

Suited for Multi-Drive Servers

The drive targets administrators who need reliable nearline capacity for always-on workloads and can accommodate a 3.5-inch SAS bay. Rotational vibration technology helps maintain performance when several drives share an enclosure. Buyers whose chassis only accepts 2.5-inch drives or who lack a SAS host adapter should consider other form factors.

SAS 6Gb/s Interface Decides Fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 6Gb/s interface; the system must provide a matching SAS backplane or controller. Without that connection the drive cannot be used, regardless of its 2TB capacity or 7200 RPM spindle speed.

Questions about this item

How much cache does the MG03SCA200 provide for sustained write workloads?

The drive includes a 64MB cache buffer to absorb burst traffic during continuous operation.

What is the typical power draw and acoustic profile when the drive runs 24×7?

Enhanced Power Condition State Technology reduces idle power, and Rotational Vibration Technology keeps noise and vibration low in multi-drive systems.

Which host interface must the system already support for this 3.5-inch drive to function?

A SAS 6Gb/s backplane or controller is required; the drive uses a standard SAS connector and 3.5-inch form factor.
