Toshiba MG09 is a hard drive family created by Toshiba. It is an extension of the Toshiba MG09 family, stretching to 20 TB at the cost of utilising host managed shingled magnetic recording. Compared to the MG09 family, the MA09 family has more limited documentation. It is Toshiba's first host managed SMR family, and distantly succeeds the earlier Toshiba MA04, which was only used in external drives.
