	'''Toshiba MD04''' is a hard drive family created by [[Toshiba]]. It succeeds the previous [[Toshiba MD03]] family, increasing the density to 1 TB per platter. It encompassed models from 2 TB to 6 TB, and is a lower binned version of the enterprise [[Toshiba MG04]] family. The [[Toshiba MN04]] family is a similar, higher binned family (though still lower binned than the MG04) that targets NAS applications.

The [[Toshiba MN04]] family is a similar, higher binned family (though still lower binned than the MG04) that targets NAS applications. The MD04 also formed the initial basis for the [[Toshiba X300]] family, with the [[TOSHIBA HDWE140]], [[TOSHIBA HDWE150\|HDWE150]] and [[TOSHIBA HDWE160\|HDWE160]] based on models from the MD04 family. This family was succeeded by the new [[TOSHIBA HDWR440]] and [[TOSHIBA HDWR460]], which are also part of the X300 family and are rebadged [[Toshiba MG08-D]] models, though the MD04 family nevertheless remains in production.

'''Toshiba MD04''' is a hard drive family created by [[Toshiba]]. It succeeds the previous [[Toshiba MD03]] family, increasing the density to 1 TB per platter. It encompassed models from 2 TB to 6 TB, and is a lower binned version of the enterprise [[Toshiba MG04]] family. The [[Toshiba MN04]] family is a similar, higher binned family (though still lower binned than the MG04) that targets NAS applications.

==History==
The MD04 family was released sometime after the MG04 family was released in 2014. Compared to the [[Toshiba DT01ACA]] family which it shares some overlap with, the MD04 family targets higher performance, at the cost of higher heat and noise, owing to its enterprise heritage. Though a newer model, the [[Toshiba MD06]] family, was released to compete with the 6 TB model, the MD04ACA600 nevertheless remained in production. In 2021, this family was effectively superseded by the [[TOSHIBA HDWR440]] and [[TOSHIBA HDWR460]], which are lower binned versions of [[Toshiba MG08-D]] models, which have faster and quieter performance than the outgoing MD04 family. As of 2021, the MD04 family remains listed as an option on the Toshiba website,<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/ap-en/storage/product/internal-specialty/pc/articles/md04aca-series.html|title = MD04 Series|publisher = Toshiba|access-date = 4 November 2021}}</ref> as no OEM version of the HDWR440 or HDWR460 exist.

==Products==
*[[TOSHIBA MD04ACA200]]
*[[TOSHIBA MD04ACA200N]] (512n)
*[[TOSHIBA MD04ACA300]]

*[[TOSHIBA MD04ACA500]]
*[[TOSHIBA MD04ACA50D]]
*[[TOSHIBA MD04ACA600]]

==Trivia==
*With at least six years of lifetime, the MD04 family is the second longest lived OEM desktop family, after the [[Toshiba DT01ACA]], still in production since 2012.
*Models with 5 platters or less (except for the MD04ACA50D) are codenamed Tomcat, whereas the MD04ACA50D and MD04ACA600 are codenamed Tomcat-R.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.qct.io/microsite/ccl/SD1Q-1ULH.html|title = SD1Q-1ULH|publisher = Quanta Cloud Technology|access-date = 4 November 2021}}</ref> Despite this, firmware versions still begin with "F", like the MD03/MG03 family before (that family's codename is Harrier, which still does not make sense)
