	*All MG06 family models and their retail rebrands are codenamed Magnum~~. It~~ is the ~~final series to~~ be codenamed ~~this way publicly; starting from the MG07 series, codenames became simplified~~ to the ~~letters before the capacity~~. ~~For example, all models in the SATA branch of the MG08~~-~~D family are codenamed MG08ADA~~.		*All MG06 family models and their retail rebrands are codenamed Magnum, which is reflected on the PCB silkscreen as "M6-SATA" or "M6-SAS". Subsequent MG families would also be codenamed Magnum plus a suffix usually equal to the generation number (e.g. MG07 is codenamed Magnum-07). Magnum made a number of overhauls that were carried over to all future Magnum platforms. These changes were not carried over to laptop and Hitachi HDA native Toshiba firmware.
	*Starting from this generation, a number of ~~firmware changes were made, which~~ were carried on to all ~~rebranded families (such as MD06 and MN06) as well as all later Toshiba enterprise generations and their binned variants~~. These changes were not carried over to laptop and Hitachi HDA native Toshiba firmware.

	'''Toshiba MG06''' was a hard drive family created by [[Toshiba]]. This family was announced in September 2017, and is a follow-up to the [[Toshiba MG05ACA]] series, increasing the maximum platters from six to seven, unprecedented in air-filled designs. It offers 6, 8 TB models in 1.33 TB/platter density (as with the previous MG05ACA) and 10 TB models using an increased 1.43 TB/platter density, as opposed to the MG05ACA only offering 8 TB models.

	This family evolved into the [[Toshiba MG07]] family, which used helium to achieve a record at the time nine platter capacity. The true successor was [[Toshiba MG08-D]], which replaced the 6 and 8 TB models with lower platter equivalents. 10 TB models continued unchallenged until [[Toshiba MG10-D]], which similarly to MG08-D used 2 TB platters to achieve a 10 TB model with lower platter counts.
