TOKYO, Nov 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation today announced the launch of MD06ACA-V Series of 3.5-inch^[1] hard disk drives (HDD) for surveillance applications that deliver up to 10TB^[2] of storage capacity. Sample shipments start today.

In order to improve security, today’s surveillance systems deploy more and higher definition cameras and store image data for longer periods. The latest systems offer live monitoring and streaming from networked cameras in remote locations. These image-heavy services require HDD offering higher capacities and higher performance.

MD06ACA-V Series air-based HDD meet performance requirements with an improved magnetic recording head and disk magnetic layer, and are available in 10TB, 8TB and 6TB capacities. They all deliver 7,200 rpm, a 256MiB^[3] buffer memory, and the 10TB model’s data transfer rate^[4] of 237 MiB/s is a 58%^[5] increase over products in the previous MD04ABA-V Series.

The new drives offer 24/7 operation, incorporate rotational vibration (RV) sensors, and can support up to 64 high definition cameras^[6]. With a rated annual workload^[7] of 180TB transferred, MTTF^[8] of 1,000,000 hours, and a wide case temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees^[9], they are suited to use in diverse surveillance applications.
