Toshiba enterprise capacity, sold renewed in Europe

One Toshiba drive here

The MG06ACA10TEY, a 10 TB, 7200 rpm, 3.5-inch SATA drive from Toshiba’s enterprise capacity range, with 256 MB of cache.

What the listing states

It is sold refurbished, as a Dell version, through Amazon Renewed, with a one-year limited warranty. Its Amazon.com page is gone; the drive is listed on the European stores.

What it leaves out

No workload rating and no MTBF, the two figures an enterprise drive is usually bought on. On the internal drive shelf, the new drives with Amazon.com offers are the ones to compare for an American buyer.

Against the other drives on the shelf

The new internal drives with Amazon.com offers on the same shelf run from 1 TB to 8 TB — the WD Blue, a white-label 3 TB, the Seagate BarraCuda and the WD Purple Pro. At 10 TB the MG06 is the largest capacity there, and the only one that is both refurbished and enterprise-class.

Every Toshiba unit reviewed here

What each Toshiba review concluded

  • TOSHIBA Canvio Partner 4 TB — A rate in gigabits, a named protection feature, a cable and a stated warranty: a sound portable backup drive, on a page that still does not name its socket.
  • TOSHIBA MG06ACA10TEY 10 TB (refurbished) — The biggest drive here, but a refurbished Dell version with a one-year warranty, and its Amazon.com page is gone.
