Toshiba MG08-D
Toshiba MG08-D is a hard drive family created by Toshiba. This family was announced in October 2020, scheduled for a release in Q1 2021. This family consists of drives that use 1.6 TB platters (except for 512n drives, which use 1.33 TB platters). As usual, it comes in both SATA and SAS versions. It replaces the 4 and 6 TB models of the MG04 family (leaving all lower than 4 TB models unreplaced) and all subvariants of the 6 and 8 TB Toshiba MG06 models (while leaving the 10 TB ones unreplaced). All Advanced Format models use 1.6 TB platters, while the 512n variants available for the 4 TB size use 1.33 TB platters. Variants of this family include the MN08-D, which is based on members of this family binned for NAS, and is similarly replacing respective MN04 and MN06 models. Both Toshiba X300 and Toshiba N300 also contain models that are binned relabels of this family.

Trivia
- The MG08-D 4 TB Advanced Format 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.
