Having already shown the complete compatibility of certain models in its high-capacity MG10 Series with the Microchip Technology, Inc. Adaptec RAID controllers and HBAs, extensive Microchip-conducted compatibility testing has been done in relation to further products.

12Gb SAS versions of the enterprise MG10SCA20TE and MG10SCA20TA HDDs have gained certification in relation to both the SmartRAID 31xx and 32xx storage adapter series. They have subsequently been added to the Microchip compatibility list that its customers refer to. This follows on from the 6Gb SATA MG10ACA HDD model getting Adaptec SmartRAID 31xx/32xx interoperability qualification at the end of 2022.

Featuring elevated storage capacities and 12Gb SAS interfacing, the MG10SCA20TE/A HDDs from the firm are supplied in 3.5-inch form factors. They each feature a 10-disk arrangement, with a helium-filled design and a rotational speed of 7,200rpm.

As Rainer W. Kaese, senior manager, business development storage products, Toshiba Electronics Europe, explains: “By having assured interoperability between Microchip and Toshiba products, thanks to the comprehensive testing work carried out by Microchip, we are making data storage implementation much easier for our customer base. It means that HDDs plus the accompanying HBAs and storage controllers can be sourced with total confidence in their combined operational performance and long-term reliability.”
