Toshiba 6TB Enterprise Internal Hard Drive – MG Series 3.5" SATA HDD for Server, Storage, 24/7 Operation, Hyperscale, Cloud (MG06ACA600E)

As expected

I own too many Toshiba hard drives, a legacy of Kodi and Chia. I've never had an issue with them, they just work and, so far as I can remember, they don't stop working. I've used them in PCs I have built myself as well as Synology NAS products. All good!

Works well using this to replace an older 10TB drive that was full - too many 4k videos on it.Just dropped it into the place that the 10TB drive was in and hooked up the old drive with a USB enclosure and copied all the data over - that took about a day to copy.Its a drive and it works well

16TB yes, works as expected.

I bought four of these for a NAS after extensive research. In terms of what's on the spec sheet, they blow the usual competition for NAS storage drives out of the water. They're cheaper, have lower URE rates, and very respectable MTBF times et al. I ran them for a month problem free, so while not long enough to get a true idea of review, I got a feel for their general characteristics in operation.In reviewing which drives to go for, something I hadn't bothered to take heed of is how noisy the drives would be. The first time I powered up the NAS in my living room I couldn't believe how noisy four of these operating at once were. The humming sound can only be described as a constant booming base note that is felt rather than heard and whenever the drives were accessed the sound is like a deep thrum that resonates around the room. I am a light sleeper and no matter where I placed the NAS in my home the sound of it operating disturbed my sleep - placing two walls between it and me still didn't fully filter out the sound!Unfortunately largely due to this noise issue I reconsidered my use of a NAS in the home. My concluding words would be, if you need excellent value enterprise storage in a situation where noise isn't a concern, I would recommend these drives. If noise is a concern I strongly advise against considering these.

These Toshiba 10TB MG Series Enterprise 3.5 Inch SATA Internal Hard Drive were stated as model: MG06ACA10TE and what I got was slightly different, the model: MG06ACA10TA. They work fine and in most cases may be preferable. However, if you are running a RAID and looking to replace drives be careful. The TE model emulates 512 bit sectors (for backwards compatibility) and the TA is native 4k. NMost RAID will not be able to mix drives of different sector sizes in the same RAID volume. So in my case I ordered some more and am replacing ALL the Drives in the RAID.These are enterprise drives and so come in all sorts of variants including SAS as well as SATA. They will be noisier than consumer drives, since they are built more robustly and have some nice enterprise features like non-volatile write cache, in case of power failures.

Not first Toshiba hdd and didn't disappointed again. Works quiet, good price, long warranty

Would be really careful before buying these dives. I wasted half a day faffing around and hoping I can save someone else the hassle:1. The two HDDs I received weren't new and showed signs of wear including a ding in the front of one drive. Marked as manufacturing date 2018.2. They were inadequately shipped, wrapped together in a couple of bits of bubble wrap in a small box.3. Plugged them in to do a full surface scan - both passed perfectly on all sectors. SMART reported 50hrs and 9 power cycles usage already logged which could be proper use or could be factory testing but seems high. That said, you can just wipe the SMART logs so who knows.4. Tried to add them to an existing array but couldn't. Realised after wasting some time that the seller had sent items MG07ACA12TA rather than MG07ACA12TE which are identical but have an incompatible different block size.5. Seller issued a return but wouldn't pay for the return postage. Amazon had to issue the £11 to me as a goodwill gesture.Bit of a pain in the arse from start to finish. It seems that selling returned items as new on Amazon is the new incarnation of 'get rich quick dropshipping'. It's a complete pain to deal with these bozos and they've got no idea what their doing. 80% of the items i buy on here now are clearly not new. Amazon need to get them off.
