The Toshiba MG Series 22TB (MG11ACA22TE) is a 3.5-inch CMR hard drive for enterprise servers, cloud and data center storage. With 7200 RPM operation, a 1GB cache and SATA 6Gb/s connectivity, it gives IT teams and integrators dependable capacity for always-on workloads.

Dependable enterprise capacity with Toshiba engineering.

Built for the Demands of Enterprise Storage

Enterprise servers and cloud storage run constant I/O in dense chassis, where consumer drives fail early and slow rebuilds threaten service levels.

The Toshiba MG Series 22TB is engineered for this role with CMR recording, rotational vibration sensors and firmware tuned for enterprise duty (workload rating: 550TB per year). At 22TB per drive, it delivers some of the highest capacity per bay available, so enterprise pools reach large usable sizes with fewer drives and less power per terabyte.

Performance Where It Counts

A 7200 RPM spindle and 1GB cache deliver sustained throughput for server and array workloads. The SATA 6Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s ports and works with standard SATA controllers, NAS bays and server backplanes.

Reliability for Continuous Operation

Toshiba’s rotational vibration sensors and firmware tuning keep the drive stable in multi-bay enclosures running around the clock.

Setup Instructions

How to Install the Toshiba MG Series 22TB

1. Check your system supports 3.5-inch SATA drives at this capacity and power it down unless hot-swap is supported.
2. Mount the drive in a free bay or tray.
3. Connect or insert the drive and confirm detection in the BIOS, NAS software or recorder.
4. Initialise the drive, add it to a pool or RAID if needed, and enable health monitoring.
