Toshiba
Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced that samples of two new
large capacity nearline hard disk drives (HDDs) are available now. The
3.5-inch 7,200 rpm MG Series includes both SATA and SAS versions,
"MG03ACA400" and "MG03SCA400" respectively, that deliver 4TB[1]
of storage, the largest capacity yet offered by Toshiba. Samples of
lower capacity models in each series are also available.

As business works to keep up with the explosion of unstructured data,
large capacity HDDs are crucial tools in IT systems designed to organize
and access fast growing reservoirs of valuable information. The massive
capacities of the MG Series drives are suited to RAID storage and
arrays, tiered virtual infrastructures for public and private cloud
deployments, archives and disk-based backup.
To help protect sensitive data from improper disclosure, both the
MG03SCA400 series and MG03ACA400 series support a sanitize overwrite
function that allows IT administrators to write a predetermined data
pattern across the entire user storage area on the disk, effectively
erasing all previously written data. The sanitize overwrite operation
can be performed before re-allocation, redeployment or retirement of the
storage device.
