HDWR31GUZSVA Toshiba X300 Performance 16TB SATA 512 MB 3.5" Consumer HDD

High-Capacity 3.5in SATA HDD featuring CMR Helium Recording with the HDWR31GUZSVA

The HDWR31GUZSVA is a 16TB 3.5in internal SATA 6Gb/s hard drive designed to scale bulk storage in workstation towers, SoHo racks, and capacity-focused server bays where sequential throughput and predictable latency are priorities. As a single-drive building block, HDWR31GUZSVA supports tiered architectures for backup targets, media libraries, and cold/warm datasets without introducing controller complexity.

Built on a 7200 RPM CMR, helium-filled platform, HDWR31GUZSVA is optimized for sustained write behavior and consistent rebuild characteristics compared with shingled approaches, making it suitable for RAID groups and ZFS pools that depend on stable write amplification. A 512MB cache and 4Kn/512e sector support help align with modern OS and filesystem choices, while the SATA interface enables broad compatibility across HBA, RAID, and motherboard ports. Power profiles are tuned for always-on environments, supporting dense deployments where airflow and watt-per-terabyte matter.

Why Choose the HDWR31GUZSVA?

The HDWR31GUZSVA delivers a practical density-to-performance ratio for capacity tiers that must remain online and serviceable, combining CMR behavior with a helium design that supports lower mechanical stress in 24/7 duty cycles. HDWR31GUZSVA fits cleanly into scale-out arrays and mixed-drive storage nodes, enabling straightforward capacity expansion and predictable operational planning across fleet-managed systems.

Toshiba storage engineering emphasizes mechanical stability, sustained transfer consistency, and qualification discipline aligned with operating conditions. The HDWR31GUZSVA reflects this focus through balanced acoustics, power management, and sector-format flexibility that integrates with current data centre standards and common deployment tooling.

Key Applications:

• Backup repositories and backup-to-disk targets
• NAS and SoHo capacity arrays
• Media libraries and content archives
• Cold and warm data tiers
• Workstation datasets and local analytics staging
