Toshiba MG10AFA28TEY 28TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch Enterprise Nearline HDD

The Toshiba MG10AFA28TEY is a 28TB 3.5-inch enterprise nearline hard disk drive built on Toshiba's tenth-generation MG10 platform, utilizing conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology with flux control microwave-assisted magnetic recording (FC-MAMR) to achieve high areal density without sacrificing reliability or compatibility. Operating at 7200 RPM with a SATA 6Gb/s interface, the drive delivers a sustained data transfer rate suited to the sequential read/write demands of large-scale storage infrastructure. A 512MB data buffer supports efficient throughput under mixed workload conditions common in enterprise environments.

Engineered for 24/7 continuous operation, the MG10AFA28TEY is rated for an annual workload of 550TB per year and carries a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2,500,000 hours, positioning it among the most resilient nearline drives in its class. The drive incorporates Toshiba's persistent write cache technology alongside rotational vibration (RV) compensation sensors, enabling stable performance in multi-drive chassis such as JBODs, RAID arrays, and high-density storage enclosures where vibration from adjacent drives can degrade read/write accuracy.

The MG10AFA28TEY is well suited to hyperscale and enterprise datacenter deployments where maximum capacity per rack unit is a primary objective. Its CMR architecture ensures full compatibility with all standard RAID controllers and storage operating systems, making it a straightforward integration into existing infrastructure for bulk data retention, AI training dataset repositories, media archives, and cloud object storage back-ends. Omnixon Global supplies this model to enterprise and institutional buyers across the UAE, GCC, EMEA, and APAC regions.

Ideal for

• Hyperscale and cloud datacenter bulk storage expansion requiring maximum capacity per drive bay with deterministic CMR write behavior
• AI and machine learning training data repositories where large sequential datasets must be stored cost-efficiently at petabyte scale
• Video surveillance and media archive systems demanding continuous write workloads across dense multi-drive enclosures
• Enterprise NAS and object storage platforms where high MTBF and workload ratings are critical to SLA compliance
• Backup and disaster recovery target storage where high capacity and 24/7 operational reliability reduce total infrastructure footprint
• HPC scratch and cold-tier storage in research or financial institutions managing large unstructured data sets requiring nearline access
