Toshiba MG09 is a hard drive family created by Toshiba. This family was announced in February 2021, and begun shipping in March 2021.[1] It is the first family of hard drives to use microwave-assisted magnetic recording, touted four years prior by competitor Western Digital but replaced with more simplistic ePMR for actual launches.
History
The Toshiba MG08-D family was announced in 2021.[1] It is the first hard drive family in the industry to use microwave-assisted magnetic recording. The MG09 family in particular uses flux control-MAMR (FC-MAMR); future families are expected to switch to the more advanced microwave-assisted switching-MAMR (MAS-MAMR).
