Maximum terabytes per drive bay. Toshiba MG11 series cloud-scale drives pack up to 24 TB into a standard 3.5-inch form factor, built for data centres and large-scale storage.
Elite Infotech supplies genuine Toshiba cloud-scale capacity hard drives in Dubai, UAE, for data centres, cloud infrastructure, and organisations whose storage grows faster than their rack space. As an authorised supplier, we provide the MG11 series with capacities up to 24 TB per drive, delivering the storage density that keeps cost per terabyte and power per terabyte down as deployments scale. Every drive is genuine, sourced through the authorised channel, and covered by the full Toshiba manufacturer warranty.
Built on 50 years of Toshiba HDD engineering, the MG11 series packs up to 24 TB into a standard 3.5-inch drive using a 10-disk helium-sealed design and Toshiba’s Flux Control Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) technology. Crucially, the series uses Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR), which maintains consistent write performance and broad compatibility with RAID and software-defined storage, avoiding the write-penalty issues of shingled alternatives.
The MG11 series runs at 7200 RPM with a 550 TB per year workload rating and an MTTF of 2.5 million hours, and is available in capacities from 14 TB to 24 TB across both 6 Gbps SATA and 12 Gbps SAS interfaces. Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) and Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE) options are available for deployments with data security and decommissioning requirements.
Cloud-scale capacity drives serve cloud and hosting infrastructure, object storage, backup and archive systems, media libraries, and long-retention video archives for large surveillance platforms. Fewer, larger drives mean fewer bays, lower power per terabyte, and lower total cost of ownership, and we help you plan capacities and interfaces around your chassis and growth curve.
Industry-leading 10-disk helium-sealed design delivers maximum capacity in a standard 3.5-inch bay.
Conventional Magnetic Recording maintains consistent write performance across RAID, ZFS, and software-defined storage, with none of the SMR write penalties.
550 TB per year workload rating and 2.5 million hours MTTF keep large fleets dependable around the clock.
Helium-sealed efficiency reduces watts per terabyte, cutting the running cost of every rack as deployments grow.
6 Gbps SATA and 12 Gbps SAS options across capacities fit both scale-out chassis and enterprise arrays.
SED encryption and SIE instant-erase variants support compliance and secure drive retirement at fleet scale.
At data centre scale, storage decisions compound: the wrong recording technology creates rebuild problems across a whole array, and grey-market drives turn a routine failure into a warranty dead end multiplied by fleet size. Elite Infotech supplies genuine MG11 series drives through the authorised channel, confirms CMR compatibility with your storage stack, and quotes across capacities and interfaces so you can standardise your fleet. Local supply across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah keeps expansions and replacements on your schedule, not a shipping line's.
A cloud-scale capacity drive is a maximum-density hard drive built for data centres and large storage deployments, prioritising terabytes per bay, power efficiency, and enterprise reliability. Toshiba's MG11 series delivers up to 24 TB per drive with a 550 TB per year workload rating.
The Toshiba MG11 series currently offers up to 24 TB in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, with the range spanning 14 TB, 16 TB, 18 TB, 20 TB, 22 TB, and 24 TB in both SATA and SAS interfaces.
CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) writes data without the overlapping tracks of SMR, maintaining consistent write performance under RAID rebuilds and sustained workloads. For arrays and software-defined storage, CMR avoids the severe write slowdowns SMR drives can suffer, which is why the MG11 series uses CMR despite its high density.
Both are enterprise-grade, but cloud-scale drives prioritise maximum capacity and power efficiency per terabyte for scale-out storage, while the broader enterprise range balances capacity against the interface and performance needs of individual servers and arrays. We can advise which fits your deployment.
Yes. Large VMS platforms with long retention requirements increasingly use cloud-scale capacity drives in their storage tiers, keeping months of footage on fewer drives. For the recorder itself, purpose-built surveillance drives remain the right choice, and we supply both.
Yes. Elite Infotech supplies the MG11 series across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah with genuine stock, full manufacturer warranty, and volume quotations for fleet deployments. Contact us with your capacities and interface requirements.
