The Toshiba MG03ACA/MG03SCA series HDDs are designed to MG03SCA200
support enterprise applications where reliability, high capacity, and
MG03SCA100
performance are required. The series is ideally suited for data archives
and digital records storage, entry and business critical server and MG03SCP400
storage systems, disk backup systems—including remote sites for data MG03SCP300
protection and business continuity, and tiered virtual infrastructure
for public and private cloud deployments (IaaS and PaaS). MG03SCP200
The optional SATA self-encrypting (SED) models support fast and MG03SCP100
secure cryptographic erase using both the latest T13 SANITIZE
crypto-scramble protocol and the older T13 ATA Security Erase
command protocol. The optional SAS SED models support both the
nn Lowest Cost Per GB Enterprise Storage Option
T10 SANITIZE crypto-erase feature and the Trusted Computing
Group Enterprise Security Sub-Classification protocols. These nn 6 Gb/sec SAS and 6 Gb/sec (SATA) Interfaces
proven, industry-standard security technologies support “nearly
nn Error Correction (ECC)
instantaneous” cryptographic-erase of user data to enable fast and
secure device retirement or redeployment. Using SEDs can eliminate nn Optional Self-Encrypting (SED) Models
the need for lengthy data overwrite cycles and reduce IT department nn 5 Year Warranty
expenses associated with secure data destruction and device
sanitization.
The series leverages the expertise and history of Toshiba in enterprise-
class storage and offers similar features as traditional enterprise-class
drives including 24 x 7 operation, Error Correction (ECC) and a
5-year warranty. The MG0ACA SATA interface models support the
