Toshiba MG08-D
From Computing Classics Wiki
Toshiba MG08-D is a hard drive family created by Toshiba. This family consists of drives that use 1.6 TB platters (except for 512n drives, which use 1.33 TB platters). It replaces the MG04 family and all subvariants of the 6 and 8 TB Toshiba MG06 models, namely MG08ACA600 and MG06ACA800. Variants of this family include MD08-D Series and MN08-D Series, for desktop and NAS respectively, similarly replacing respective MD04/MD06/MN04/MN06 models. Both Toshiba X300 and Toshiba N300 also contain models that are binned relabels of this family.

Trivia
- The MG08-D 4 TB models are currently the only drive models in the 4 TB range to go beyond 1.33 TB density, at 1.6.
- The introduction of this family marks the first time Toshiba has reused a generation code originally for helium (08) for an air-filled family. This air-filled family is disambiguated by changing the RPM letter from C to D.
