TOSHIBA HDWD240 is a hard drive model created by Toshiba. It is a 3.5" 4 TB SMR hard drive, based off the Hitachi HDA from the DT01 series with Toshiba style firmware. It is a rebadged TOSHIBA DT02ABA400, targeted at retail customers.
Similar models from other manufacturers include the WDC WD40EZAZ and ST4000DM004.
History[edit | edit source]
The HDWD240 was part of a 2019 expansion to the P300 family, including 5,400 RPM drives to it for the first time.[1] It replaces the models that were part of the long-discontinued Toshiba E300 family. This model serves as a low speed, low duty alternative to the TOSHIBA HDWE140.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- This drive is the first two-platter retail branded Toshiba to be based off the Hitachi three-platter HDA, but with native Toshiba firmware and PCB, as proven by the Toshiba-style PCB part number of G0066A (where G is used as a prefix for Toshiba-made PCBs). Previously, Toshiba-branded drives using this HDA used modified Hitachi firmware and PCBs (with PCB part numbers prefixed with the HGST-style 0A or 0B, rather than G). Unlike the original Hitachi PCB, which uses an LSI controller, the Toshiba PCB used on the HDWD240 uses a Marvell controller, like the majority of Toshiba drives.
- The MCU is a Marvell 88i1047-NDB2, the same used on the Toshiba MQ03 and Toshiba MQ04 laptop families.
