Toshiba Successfully Demonstrates Nearline HDDs with Massive Capacity of Over 30 Terabytes

 

Düsseldorf, Germany, 14 May 2024 – Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH announces that Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has successfully achieved storage capacities of over 30TB[1] with two next-generation large capacity magnetic recording technologies for hard disk drives (HDDs): Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) and Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording (MAMR). The demonstration drives represent a major milestone in the advance towards commercial products based on each of these emerging recording formats.

HAMR boosts writing capabilities by locally heating the disk material with a near-field laser. Toshiba achieved 32TB on 10 disks using Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) – a technology that partially overlaps data tracks to increase the areal density and overall storage capacity per disk. Toshiba plans to start shipping test sample HDDs[2] of 28 – 30TB with HAMR technology in 2025.

The other technology is MAMR, which uses microwaves to enhance magnetic recording capabilities. Toshiba was the first [3] to demonstrate its effectiveness and started mass production of first-generation drives in 2021. Toshiba achieved 31TB capacity by stacking 11 disks, using SMR technology, and improving signal processing.

These new achievements were made possible through years of close collaborative work with Resonac Corporation, a HDD media manufacturer, and TDK Corporation, a HDD head manufacturer. Toshiba and its working partners are committed to continue developing both HAMR and MAMR technologies in order to provide higher capacity HDDs to meet the growing storage demand of the cloud and datacenters.

As Larry Martinez-Palomo, Vice President, Head of Storage Products Division at Toshiba, explains: “Toshiba is concurrently advancing the development of future generation high-capacity HDDs using both HAMR and MAMR technologies. Mass production of hard disk drives incorporating HAMR will commence after the validation phase is completed. In the interim, Toshiba will continue to satisfy the demand for high-capacity, high-reliability storage devices with hard disk drives employing the field-proven MAMR technology.”

At ISC High Performance 2024, May 12th to 16th in Hamburg, Germany, Toshiba and its partners will discuss with experts, how its hard disk drive technologies and enterprise portfolio are streamlined to meet the needs of large and fast online backend storage. On the stand (G02), there will be a live demo showing the astonishing performance of Toshiba’s HDD MG Series.

World Backup Day: Toshiba Encourages People to Backup Their Data Regularly

 

Canvio Flex smart storage drive simplifies the backup of mobile devices, even on the go

 

Düsseldorf, Germany, 21 March 2024 – Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH (Toshiba) emphasises the importance of this year’s World Backup Day on 31 March, the day to prevent data loss. This independent initiative responds directly to concerns about data loss on devices like laptops and smartphones and raises awareness about the value of backups and data preservation. Toshiba’s Canvio Flex external hard disk drive makes mobile device backups even more accessible by allowing users to make copies of important files directly from their smartphone – without needing a laptop or PC.

According to research undertaken by numerous groups, only a tiny percentage of people make frequent backups of their digital data. Even more concerning is that a significant section of our continually data-generating society never backs up, leaving them vulnerable to substantial data loss dangers. An independent survey conducted by Acronis, a world leader in cyber protection, reveals that 41% of all individual users rarely or never back up their computers or mobile devices. According to the most recent report, 72% of all users had to recover from backup at least once that year, implying that some users who did not back up had permanently lost data.

As Larry Martinez-Palomo, Vice President, Head of Storage Products Division, explains: “In a world that is becoming increasingly digital, the need for flexible storage solutions is growing. Photos, videos, and important documents accumulate on our devices – especially smartphones. World Backup Day helps raise awareness of the importance of backing up these files more regularly. The Toshiba Canvio Flex external hard drive makes backups easy – connect the USB cord to your smartphone or other device and drag and drop to secure the future of your digital files and memories.”

A backup plan is one of the most critical strategies to preserve and keep data safe. Backing up ensures that even if the device slips into the wrong hands, a backup of the most important files is retained, secure, and easily accessible. The Toshiba Canvio Flex works interchangeably with most major device platforms and operating systems. Preformatted for Macs, Windows PCs, smartphones, and tablets*, this drive allows seamless access to data, and sharing between devices.

HDDs have a long life ahead in certain workloads

A Podcast by Antony Adshead, Rainer Kaese from Toshiba Electronics Europe

Listen to the podcast here: https://cdn.ttgtmedia.com/rms/editorial/podcastToshibaJuly23.mp3

Spinning disk hard drives are far from dead, and with data volumes set to explode, there are use cases that suit them well. That’s the view of Rainer Kaese of Toshiba in this podcast.

Some have predicted the imminent demise of spinning disk hard drives (HDDs), but Rainer Kaese, senior manager for business development in storage products at Toshiba Electronics Europe, argues they have many more years life left in them.

Core to his argument is that with the volume of data expanding rapidly, HDDs offer cost-effective storage that can cope with huge capacity needs and the right performance for particular workloads if their capabilities are harnessed correctly.

Antony Adshead: How long should we expect spinning disk HDDs to be around for in the enterprise, and why?

Rainer Kaese: That’s a really good question and there’s a clear answer: for many more years. So, at least five, if not 10, or even more years.

And there’s a quite simple reason: the data we have to store in enterprise and cloud is exploding. It’s growing exponentially and it has to be stored in a competitive way. People don’t want to pay all their money for it. And spinning disks are and will be the most economical way to store all these zettabytes of data.

If we compare it with SSDs [solid-state drives], the bit cost, the capacity cost of hard disk drives is currently around 1/7th. It used to be 1/10th. Now it is 1/7th, but if you look at the cost curve of the price per capacity of HDD and SSD they are dropping as parallel lines. And we know that parallel lines never meet.

So, hard disk drives are, and will always be, much cheaper in terms of cost per capacity than SSDs.

Adshead: What workloads will be most appropriate for HDDs in the coming five to 10 years? Here, we’re assuming flash will increase its share at the higher levels of performance.

Kaese: If it is about performance, if it is about throughput, agility, IOPS and things, then flash will lead.

However, there are all this petabytes and zettabytes of bulk data, and it’s not just what we know today. There will be more data coming out of this internet of things, Industry 4.0 – so much more data will be created and this data needs to be saved, stored and will also need to be analysed; that’s why we store this data.

And if you look at the storage landscape for that application where you are storing and analysing a lot of data, then on one hand, we can say that flash will be much more expensive. On the other hand, there is also tape. Tape is a lot cheaper than flash and tape is a lot cheaper than HDDs, but tape is not an online medium. So, for online storage […] and especially online analytics, tape cannot be used.

In this middle field of active online data, of massive amounts, that will be the playground for hard disk drives.

Adshead: How can spinning disk HDD compete against its solid-state rivals?

Kaese: If we talk about performance, we have to see that the HDD is way slower than any SSD. So, a single NVMe component is 5x to 20x compared to hard disk drives.

However, the HDD’s domain is large online storage, [and so] we don’t compare single components any more. Large online storage means a lot of hard disk drives. A lot of small HDDs can join their rather slow performance to one big, agile storage, and the industry has implemented many ways [to make] hard disk drives a little more agile. And this … leads to large online storage.

All these videos, this online data, it is instantly there, but it is coming from hard disk drives not from NVMe, and this is because HDDs have joined forces with many [of them to be] able to deliver the performance required.

A Toshiba anuncia o novo disco rígido para computador de secretária P300 de 2 TB Funcionamento a 7200 RPM

 

Düsseldorf, Alemanha, 1 de junho de 2022 — A Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH anuncia o disco rígido para computador de secretária P300 de 3,5 polegadas [1] de altarotação com um capacidade de armazenamento de 2 TB [2] . Concebido para computador de secretária, computação em PC, jogos e aplicações de armazenamento, onde o desempenho, a capacidade e a fiabilidade são fundamentais, estes discos suportam uma operação de 7200 RPM e cada um possui uma interface SATA de 6 Gbit/s.

O segredo para o desempenho elevado fornecido pelo novo disco rígido para computador de secretária P300 é a tecnologia de gravação magnética em setores sobrepostos (SMR) da qual tira proveito. Aqui, as pistas sobrepostas permitem uma densidade de dados mais elevada e, por isso, só é necessária a superfície magnética exigida para uma leitura correta. Isto é vantajoso em comparação com a gravação magnética convencional (CMR), onde cada pista tem de ser separada por uma pequena distância. Consequentemente, a abordagem da SMR permite que sejam alcançadas maiores capacidades dentro da mesma área magnética de um disco CMR, o que leva a um custo total de aquisição (TCO) mais baixo. A arquitetura de cache significa que os problemas de reescrita aleatória podem ser mitigados.

O modelo de alta rotação P300 de 2 TB incorpora uma memória intermédia de 256 MB, pelo que é possível fornecer uma taxa de transferência sustentada de até 210 MiB/s [3] , o que representa um aumento de 19% na velocidade de transferência de dados em comparação com a nossa série convencional de discos rígidos para computador de secretária P300. Estes números tornam os novos discos rígidos P300 uma escolha altamente otimizada para dar resposta às crescentes exigências de computação para computadores de secretária, bem como para aplicações Web, jogos e trabalho de arquivo de dados. O novo disco rígido da Toshiba estará disponível no 3.º trimestre de 2022.

Toshiba Defines Nearline HDD Technology Roadmap to Meet Ever-Increasing Global Data Demands

Unique high-density technologies will provide foundation for continued progression

Düsseldorf, Germany, 08th March 2022 – Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH (TEE)  announced that Toshiba Electronic Devices and Storage Corporation has set out its product development strategy in relation to Nearline Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). This will see the company make further engineering innovations in order to deliver a significant increase in the storage capacities that can be supported.

The upcoming generations of Toshiba Nearline HDDs are expected to have reached 35TB before the end of FY2024 and gone beyond 40TB by 2026. These objectives will be achieved via the addition of further stacking layers (with devices featuring a total of 11 layers), combined with the use of Toshiba game-changing proprietary recording technologies. By unlocking the full potential of Flux-Controlled Microwave-Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) and Microwave Assisted Switching Microwave-Assisted Magnetic Recording (MAS-MAMR), it will be possible to dramatically boost recording densities, but still assure elevated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) figures and ongoing operational reliability. The result is that Toshiba has substantial scope to keep on ramping up capacity levels in the longer term, while also reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) involved.

“The world that we now live in is fuelled by data, with it being the basis of nearly every day-to-day activity we do. This has major implications for the storage sector, as unprecedented quantities of data are now being generated and much of this needs to be placed on the cloud,” states Larry Martinez-Palomo, General Manager of the Storage Products Division at Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH. “Through close consultation with the leading cloud service operators, we have gained valuable insight into what their future data storage requirements will be. By implementing our advanced high-density FC-MAMR and MAS-MAMR devices, they can be confident of having the data storage capabilities necessary, alongside strong read/write performance parameters and prolonged working lifespan.”

A Toshiba aumenta a capacidade de armazenamento das unidades de disco rígido N300 e X300 para 18 TB

O design de isolamento de hélio de 9 discos de terceira geração, com tecnologia FC-MAMR exclusiva, possibilita uma combinação apelativa de densidade de armazenamento elevada e eficiência energética melhorada

Düsseldorf, Alemanha, 16 de setembro de 2021 – A Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH adicionou novos modelos de 18 TB às suas gamas de unidades de disco rígido N300 NAS e unidades de disco rígido de alto desempenho X300. As novas unidades incorporam a revolucionária tecnologia da empresa de Controlo de Fluxo de Gravação Magnética Assistida por Micro-ondas (FC-MAMR), a qual foi anunciada no início deste ano.

Com o FC-MAMR, um “Oscilador de binário de rotação” (STO) permite obter um melhor controlo e concentrar de forma eficiente o fluxo magnético gerado na cabeça de escrita das unidades de disco rígido (HDDs). O fluxo concentrado permite uma operação de escrita mais precisa, o que produz uma área magnética menor por bit e densidades de dados superiores comparativamente à geração anterior de HDDs CMR.

A utilização do FC-MAMR deu origem a um aumento adicional da densidade da unidade de 12,5% – acrescentando, assim, 2 TB[1] por disco à capacidade dos modelos anteriores de 16 TB[1] da Toshiba.

As novas unidades N300 e X300 vêm numa caixa com o formato de 3,5 pol.[2] padrão da indústria, mas utilizam um design de isolamento de hélio de 9 discos proprietário. As técnicas avançadas de soldagem a laser do Grupo Toshiba garantem um isolamento seguro do hélio.

A série N300 está altamente otimizada para escritórios em casa e armazenamento ligado em rede (NAS) para pequenas empresas, bem como aplicações de armazenamento privado na nuvem, com até 8 compartimentos de unidades instalados[3]. Estas unidades fornecem um desempenho de 7200 rpm e possuem sensores RV integrados para compensar os efeitos das vibrações rotacionais. Concebidas para uma operação permanente e fiável, com uma taxa de período médio entre falhas (MTTF) de 1,2 milhões de horas, atingem uma classificação de carga de trabalho[4] de até 180 TB/ano.

Destinadas para PC e estações de trabalho para computadores de secretária potentes, consolas de jogos e equipamento de entretenimento doméstico, as unidades da série X300 proporcionam igualmente um desempenho de 7200 rpm. Os seus mecanismos de estabilização das unidades criam uma fiabilidade operacional melhorada e a tecnologia de cache do Grupo Toshiba otimiza a alocação da cache durante a leitura/escrita para proporcionar um desempenho de alto nível em tempo real.

As unidades da série N300 vêm com uma garantia limitada de 3 anos, enquanto as unidades da série X300 têm uma garantia limitada de 2 anos. Prevê-se que os modelos N300 e X300 de 18 TB estejam disponíveis no quarto trimestre de 2021.

Os HDDs de 18 TB da Toshiba recebem a qualificação para os adaptadores Adaptec® HBA e RAID

A compatibilidade assegurada da Série MG09 permite uma implementação mais ampla destas unidades FC-MAMR

Düsseldorf, Alemanha, xx de julho de 2021 – A Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH (TEE) anuncia a conclusão bem-sucedida dos testes de compatibilidade entre a nova Série MG09 de 18 TB e 3,5 polegadas e os adaptadores de armazenamento da Microchip. O funcionamento destas unidades de disco rígido (HDDs) está agora confirmada em todos os adaptadores de barramento anfitrião (HBAs) comuns da Adaptec® e numa gama redundante de adaptadores de disco (RAID) independentes da Microchip.

Os HBAs e os adaptadores RAID ligam os HDDs empresariais ao servidor, permitindo a construção de arquiteturas de rede avançadas. A sua interação suave assegura a funcionalidade e a estabilidade operacional dos sistemas empresariais e de armazenamento em nuvem.

“Estamos extremamente satisfeitos pelo facto de a nossa cooperação de longo prazo com a Microchip ter resultado na qualificação da geração MG09 com os seus adaptadores de Armazenamento Inteligente tão cedo após o lançamento no mercado. As empresas que utilizam os adaptadores da Adaptec podem instalar as unidades MG09 de 18 TB da Toshiba para uma interoperabilidade comprovada”, disse Rainer Kaese, Gerente Sénior de Desenvolvimento Empresarial de Produtos de Armazenamento na TEE.

A compatibilidade confirmada da Série MG09 refere-se às versões SAS de 12 GB/s MG09SCA18TE/A e SATA 6 GB/s dos modelos MG09ACA18TE/A. Os testes foram realizados nos novos modelos tri-mode PCIe Gen 4 24 G SAS/SATA/NVMe HBA e RAID, na série HBA 1100, na série SmartRAID 3100 e no antecessor RAID ainda amplamente utilizado, a Série 8. Não só foi verificada a funcionalidade e compatibilidade básica da interface, mas foram realizados testes hot-plug, de ligação e reinício, e a estabilidade de longo prazo foi também confirmada através de um teste de duração prolongada. Assim, as unidades de disco rígido MG09 qualificaram-se para fazer parte da lista de compatibilidade da Microchip.

“A última geração de adaptadores de armazenamento Adaptec NVMe e SAS Tri-mode RAID de 24 G e HBA proporciona o mesmo desempenho, conetividade, segurança e facilidade de gestão de que os nossos clientes necessitam para implementar novas infraestruturas de armazenamento”, disse Jay Bennett, diretor adjunto da gestão de produtos para a unidade empresarial de soluções para centros de dados da Microchip. “Fornecer soluções com uma interoperabilidade demonstrada com componentes de ecossistema como os produtos HDD SAS e SATA da Toshiba é fundamental para assegurar uma integração e implementação rápida e de confiança da próxima geração de soluções de armazenamento.”

A Série MG09 recém-lançada baseia-se no design de isolamento de hélio de 9 discos proprietário de terceira geração da Toshiba e incorpora a revolucionária tecnologia de Controlo de Fluxo de Gravação Magnética Assistida por Micro-ondas (FC-MAMR). Com 12,5% mais capacidade do que os modelos de 16 TB anteriores, as unidades da Série MG09 de 18 TB são compatíveis com a mais vasta gama de aplicações e sistemas operativos.

Os testes minuciosos de compatibilidade realizados pela Microchip surgem no seguimento dos testes que a empresa realizou nos HDDs de Capacidade Empresarial da Toshiba (modelos MG04 a MG08) e na série de HDDs de Desempenho Empresarial (AL12 a AL15) no passado.

A Toshiba fortalece a sua série de Unidades de Disco Rígido de Vigilância

As últimas adições à série S300 são otimizadas para pequenas e médias empresas

Düsseldorf, Alemanha, xx de maio de 2021 – A Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH dá resposta às necessidades de armazenamento de especialistas para aplicações de vigilância de pequena e média escala com o lançamento de duas novas unidades de disco rígido (HDD) S300. Os modelos adicionais, disponíveis em 4 TB[1] e 6 TB, tiram partido da tecnologia de gravação magnética em setores sobrepostos (SMR) para proporcionar soluções de armazenamento de maior densidade. Como resultado, estão otimizados para implementações de pequena/média escala, o que permite uma capacidade mais elevada a um custo e consumo de energia mais reduzidos. Isto significa que os utilizadores podem implementar sistemas de vigilância capazes de cumprir os requisitos técnicos e orçamentais simultaneamente.  

As melhorias nesta série têm em vista a crescente procura de escalabilidade flexível para sistemas de câmaras de segurança, como gravação de vídeo em rede (NVR) e gravação digital de vídeo (DVR). O número de transmissões de câmaras de alta definição (HD) duplicou de 32 para 64. Além disso, o tamanho da memória intermédia foi aumentado para 256 MB, o que permite uma transferência de dados mais fluída de câmaras de alta resolução.

Larry Martinez-Palomo, Diretor-Geral da Divisão de Produtos de Armazenamento da Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH, explica: “Com as últimas adições à nossa gama S300, podemos dar resposta aos requisitos do mercado de armazenamento para vigilância. Os novos modelos de 4 TB e 6 TB melhoram o custo total de propriedade (TCO) para pequenas e médias empresas, ao mesmo tempo que mantêm o desempenho, a qualidade e a fiabilidade”.

Os dois modelos S300 adicionais já estão disponíveis.

Notas:

[1] De acordo com a definição da Toshiba, um megabyte (MB) corresponde a 1 000 000 bytes, um gigabyte (GB) corresponde a 1 000 000 000 bytes e um terabyte (TB) corresponde a 1 000 000 000 000 bytes. Um sistema operativo de computador, no entanto, indica a capacidade de armazenamento através de potências de 2 para a definição de 1 TB = 240 bytes = 1 099 511 627 776 bytes e, por esse motivo, indica uma capacidade de armazenamento inferior. A capacidade de armazenamento disponível (incluindo exemplos de vários ficheiros multimédia) varia consoante o tamanho do ficheiro, a formatação, as definições, o software e o sistema operativo e/ou aplicações de software pré-instaladas ou conteúdos multimédia. A capacidade formatada efetiva pode variar.
