Enterprise 8 TB SATA drive

The Toshiba MG06ACA800E is an 8 TB, 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage. It spins at 7,200 rpm and provides a 256 MB cache behind a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s interface. The drive uses 512e Advanced Format sector technology and includes Persistent Write Cache technology to protect write operations during sudden power loss. It is supplied as a bare drive with a 26.1 mm z-height.

Nearline workloads, not desktop boot

This drive suits nearline business-critical workloads that demand sustained throughput and high capacity in a standard 3.5-inch bay. It is not intended for users who need a low-latency boot device or silent operation in a compact desktop chassis. Buyers requiring a different interface, a 2.5-inch form factor, or capacities above 8 TB should consider other models.

237 MiB/s sustained transfer rate

The maximum sustained transfer rate reaches 237 MiB/s, which determines whether the drive can feed your application fast enough. This figure, combined with the 7,200 rpm spindle speed and 256 MB cache, defines the performance envelope for sequential workloads. Verify that your controller and backplane can saturate the SATA 6.0 Gbit/s link to realise this rate.

Questions about this item

What does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface cap in practice?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface supports a sustained transfer rate up to 237 MiB/s.

What physical space does the 3.5-inch 26.1 mm drive need to mount?

It fits a standard 3.5-inch bay with 26.1 mm height clearance.

How is the drive installed and what step is often missed?

Secure it with four M3 screws, connect SATA data and power cables, then enable AHCI in BIOS so the 512e Advanced Format sector technology works correctly.
