Toshiba
America Electronic Components, Inc. ("TAEC") today announced that
Super Micro Computer, Inc. has successfully qualified the MG07ACA Series
14TB1 and 12TB HDD SATA models on select Supermicro storage
server platforms. Using a 9-disk, helium-sealed design, the new MG07ACA
Series provides power-efficient capacity and storage density, which is
now available on Supermicro's popular SuperStorage (SSG) line-up of
server platforms. The MG07 Series industry-leading 14TB capacity allows
data center customers a choice of storage server platform solutions
available through Supermicro's extensive network of distributors as well
as systems and solutions integrators.
"As we continue to develop solutions to meet the growing capacity needs
of enterprise and cloud data center customers, Toshiba (News - Alert) is pleased to be
working with Supermicro on solutions utilizing our new MG07ACA Series
helium-sealed HDD," said Kyle Yamamoto, Vice President of HDD Business
Unit, Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. "Toshiba's innovative,
power-efficient 9-disk design delivers the highest capacity available in
the market today using conventional magnetic recording, and matches up
well with Supermicro's highly-regarded lineup of server and storage
solutions."
"Being first-to-market with storage servers qualified to support 14TB
hard drives puts Supermicro and Toshiba in a strong position to better
support our customers with high-capacity storage solutions," said
Michael McNerney, vice president, Software Solutions and Network
Security, Supermicro. "Leveraging Supermicro's complete portfolio of
open industry standard storage optimized servers with maximum
efficiency, customers can now maximize the storage capacity per server
node by using 14TB SATA drives and achieve even better cost per TB."
The MG07ACA Series features both 14TB 9-disk and 12TB 8-disk models. The
helium-sealed 3.5-inch2 mechanical design realizes better
storage density and a lower HDD operating power profile, achieving a 40%
increase in maximum capacity and 50% better power efficiency (W/GB) over
10TB HDD models.

1 Definition of capacity: A terabyte (TB) is
1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports
storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1TB = 240
= 1,099,511,627,776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity.
Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files)
will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and
operating system and/or pre-installed software applications, or media
content. Actual formatted capacity may vary. 2 Form
Factor: "3.5-inch" means the form factor of HDDs. They do not indicate
drive's physical size
