Toshiba MG06 is a hard drive family created by Toshiba. This family was announced in September 2017, and is a follow-up to the Toshiba MG05ACA series, sporting the same platter density, but increasing the maximum platters from six to seven, unprecedented in air-filled designs. It offers 6, 8 and 10 TB models, as opposed to the MG05ACA only offering 8 TB.
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 the MG08-D family, which replaced the 6 and 8 TB models with lower platter equivalents. The MG06 family is currently being phased out as a result.
History
The MG06 is the follow-up to the MG05ACA. Released in September 2017, the MG06 family is the first and so far only family to offer seven platters in an air-filled design.[1] It is also the first nearline enterprise family to offer power loss protection, a feature which would become standard on all Toshiba enterprise produced since.

Trivia
- All MG06 family models are codenamed Magnum. It is the final series to be codenamed this way publicly; starting from the MG07 series, codenames became simplified to simply the letters before the capacity. For example, all models in the SATA branch of the MG08-D family are codenamed MG08ADA.
- Starting from this generation, a number of firmware changes were made, which were carried on to all later Toshiba enterprise generations:
- Firmware versions became entirely numerical, as opposed to using a two-letter prefix.
- The value of Disk Shift also changed reporting; instead of reporting a single value, it reports three 16 bit integers. The disk shift measuring also seems more accurate, rarely reporting zero even when factory fresh.
