MG09ACA Series Enterprise Capacity HDD

Using an industry-leading 9-disk design pioneered by Toshiba, the MG09ACA Series provides 18TB of conventional magnetic recording (CMR) capacity and 7200 rpm performance. The industry-standard 3.5-inch form-factor integrates easily into cloud-scale storage infrastructure, business-critical servers and storage, and File and Object storage solutions. Toshiba's precision industrial laser welding technology is put to use to seal helium inside the 9-disk mechanics. The massive 18TB capacity is delivered using proven CMR recording technology providing optimum application compatibility and data reliability. Available with either a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s or a 12.0 Gb/s SAS interface, the MG089ACA Series models integrate easily into standard 3.5-inch drive bays to help reduce the footprint and operational burden of cloud-scale storage infrastructure, and business critical servers and storage systems.
  1. This HDD utilizes a new standardized mounting screw pattern that is not compatible with older Mac Pro models. In a Mac Pro tower, the drive can be installed in an empty optical drive bay using an OWC Hard Drive Tray for 2009/10/12 Mac Pro, an OWC Multi-Mount Bracket for 2009/10/12 Mac Pro, or an OWC Multi-Mount Bracket for 2006/07/08 Mac Pro.

    Note: While 27-inch iMac 2015 and later models do support installation of macOS 12 Monterey, at this time Apple does not support installation of macOS 12 Monterey on a drive larger than 16TB. Drives larger than 16TB remain compatible in the previous OS version, macOS 11 Big Sur. Should this be resolved in the future, this note will be updated. (Last updated August 1st, 2022)
