Review: Toshiba MG07ACA14TE Reviewed by: J.Reynolds Provided by: Toshiba Firmware version: 0101 |
Introduction
Welcome to Myce’s review of the Toshiba MG07ACA14TE 14TB
SATA Enterprise HDD (hereafter referred to as the Toshiba MG07ACA).
The MOG07ACA is a helium filled, high capacity HDD.
Helium gas is hermetically sealed within the drive, and is
one seventh the density of air, thus the drag on the drive’s platters is
reduced significantly, which in turn reduces power consumption and heat
generation. Although this technology is not new, with the MG07ACA, Toshiba
includes 9 platters in an HDD for the first time.
The Toshiba MG07ACA features a 256MB Cache and spins at
7,200 rpm.
Please read on to see what we make of it.
