Their website might be cheaper for this also. I got free shipping, but I live in MN so no guarantee there.

Signed up for an account on their website and was terrified to see that they email my password back to me in plain-text for email verification. Buckle up, this will be fun. Using PayPal because YOLO.

At the time of writing the qty in inventory is 1432.

Thanks! Just placed an order. Will use it as a backup drive to my data.

Well, after cleaning up my homelab, maybe a Storage upgrade to these. 168TB sounds fun.

In the past I wouldn't think twice about buying a SAS drive with a 30 day warranty but the recent deals with a 5 year warranty have me second guessing.. Hm..

How is this still an issue in 2024 lol. Thanks for the heads up.

Know you can't have everything but agree with the above, 30 day warranty is the only thing holding me back from grabbing some of these.

This drive (MG07 Series) is NOT an Enterprise grade drive.
It is Nearline with a spec'd "550 total TB Transferred per Year Workload Rating"

Despite the Marketing-Slime literature liberally using the "Enterprise" (and "Cloud") buzzword(s) in many places. [Link]

Anyone who has ever dealt with Toshiba's RMA dept. Knows it's not the most reputable company. Took me almost 2 years of constant nagging to get them to send me my replacement drive.

Funny enough these just, as in the last few minutes, dropped back down to their recent sale price of $80/ea.

My hesitation on these is more concerning the whole "these drives are filled with helium" combined with "these drives are scratched through the label, into the casing". Thaat sounds like tempting fate.

Price can't be beat and I trust techy, so I bought a shelf's worth. I'll report back in week or so, and follow up if I have issues.

 

[EasyRhino]

on their site they list a box of 20 for $75 per drive.

incidentally using their website it was both free shipping and no sales tax to california. score!

If I hadn't literally *just* picked up a slew of seagate x18's (newegg had a sale on the exos 18TB for ~$255 each), I'd pick up a handful of these and at least give em a shot - hell of a $/TB deal!

One problem I've historically had with Toshiba drives (across 3 separate models actually) was getting them to reliably spin down... I understand all the implications there, but whenever I'm using HDD's anymore, it's for big media and/or long term storage (write once, read 'occasionally', and verify monthly lol).

With drives now consuming 5+ watts even at 'idle', spin down has become quite a bit more important to me - admittedly this has been years back now, and easily could've been some old firmware issue, just that given it was across multiple drive models at the time, it'd always given me pause sense lol

 

[EasyRhino]

SAS drives in general are harder to get to spin down also.

I'm probably going to have some storj node hosting on spare capacity so they tends to keep the drives busy all the time anyway

Related to power, Toshiba MG07/MG08/MG09 drives have the lowest idle and active power of any drive (according to the datasheets) I've looked at. Clearly not as low as spinning down, but for my use case low active and idle power are desirable since I can't spin down the drives.

In fact, these Toshiba drives have lower idle power consumption at 7200 RPM then the lower speed 5200/5400 RPM drives. This makes buying those "lower power" drives a moot point for people who can't spin down drives.

Worth noting, on their website they sell both scratched labels and "clean" labels at a higher price ($99/ea). If you need a bunch they also sell both flavors in boxes of 20 at a slight discount.

This drive (MG07 Series) is NOT an Enterprise grade drive.

Features like Power Loss Protection, optional SED, choice of sector size, etc., make them "Enterprise". They are "Capacity Enterprise" class as opposed to "Performance Enterprise" class.

But nobody buys (or even manufactures) spinning rust today for "Performance Enterprise". It's all NVMe now.

As for the data transfer limit, that's just a standard CYA warranty number. I have purchased used drives with similar warranty specs but with close to 8x that much transfer (almost all reads) per year for the 4+ years they were powered on.
