MC04ACA200E Toshiba MC04 2TB SATA 128 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Performance 3.5-inch Enterprise SATA HDD for 24/7 Nearline Storage with the MC04ACA200E

The MC04ACA200E is a 3.5-inch internal enterprise HDD designed to provide predictable SATA-attached capacity for server and storage platforms that prioritise compatibility and continuous operation. Built on the Toshiba MC04 Series, the MC04ACA200E targets boot/system volumes in entry storage nodes and cost-controlled capacity tiers where a single-port SATA architecture is the operational requirement.

For infrastructure engineers, the MC04ACA200E aligns with common PCIe-to-SATA HBA and backplane designs, enabling straightforward integration into standard 3.5-inch hot-swap bays and dense storage shelves. A 7200 RPM spindle and 128 MB cache support consistent access patterns for OS images, logs, and general-purpose nearline datasets, while CMR recording helps sustain performance under mixed read/write behaviour typical of backup repositories and SMB NAS workloads. Support for 4Kn with 512e emulation assists with sector-format alignment across modern operating systems and RAID controllers, reducing deployment friction during refresh cycles.

Why Choose the MC04ACA200E?

The MC04ACA200E delivers a balanced density-to-performance profile for SATA-only environments, providing enterprise duty-cycle suitability without introducing the operational complexity of dual-port SAS. With the MC04ACA200E, architects can scale capacity in modular nodes, maintain serviceability in standard chassis, and standardise spares for consistent fleet operations.

Toshiba enterprise storage engineering focuses on long-life mechanics, controlled firmware behaviour, and qualification for modern data centre operating conditions. The MC04ACA200E is designed for 24/7 duty, supporting stable thermals and power characteristics to fit predictable rack-level power planning.

Key Applications:

• Server boot and system volumes
• SMB NAS capacity tiers
• Backup repositories
• General-purpose nearline SATA storage
