Review: Devices are working despite the shabby packaging. - Hard drives work as intended. However, I'm not entirely sure if they will last as some of them came with broken plastic covers. Clearly took some abuse before packaging and in transport. Hope it will not impact their long-term performance. Review: I purchased 5 of these HDDs, all arrived DOA. And later I noticed a Used HDD always became available on the listing when I returned mine... Then I started to check the serial numbers and realized I received the same previously known bad HDDs. More than once. Do not by USED HDDs here. ## Features - Large storage capacity with 16 TB - Data transfer rate of 6 Gbps - Designed for high-performance applications - Protect the data integrity in case of power failure - Emulates the sector size of a 512 byte per sector drive ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | TOSHIBA | | Product Dimensions | 50.8 x 30.48 x 7.62 cm; 200 g | | Item model number | 418613 | | Manufacturer | Acer | | Series | MG Series | | Color | Silver | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Computer Memory Type | DIMM | | Hard Drive Size | 16 TB | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Drive Interface | Serial ATA | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hardware Platform | PlayStation 5 | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Item Weight | 200 g | ## Product Details - **Digital storage capacity:** 16 TB - **Hard disk interface:** Serial ATA - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Brand:** TOSHIBA - **Special features:** Portable - **Hard disk form factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard disk description:** Solid State Drive - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Colour:** Silver ## Images ![TOSHIBA Nearline HDD 16TB 3.5inch SATA 12Gbit/s 7200rpm MG08ACA16TE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71k4q76t1kL.jpg) ![TOSHIBA Nearline HDD 16TB 3.5inch SATA 12Gbit/s 7200rpm MG08ACA16TE - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81B0bL6AjeL.jpg) ![TOSHIBA Nearline HDD 16TB 3.5inch SATA 12Gbit/s 7200rpm MG08ACA16TE - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719j8oovTIL.jpg) ![TOSHIBA Nearline HDD 16TB 3.5inch SATA 12Gbit/s 7200rpm MG08ACA16TE - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iokzVg8aL.jpg) ![TOSHIBA Nearline HDD 16TB 3.5inch SATA 12Gbit/s 7200rpm MG08ACA16TE - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bjHF5zFCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do these come in a retail packaging?** A: For my order, HDD have been package into big sponge and cover in transparent plastic box especially for HDD Until now HDD run well, but a bit noisy **Q: Is this another Scam ?** A: The Toshiba MG08ACA16TE 16TB drive I received is working very well as installed in my old G5 Mac Pro.

However, I'm not entirely sure if they will last as some of them came with broken plastic covers. Clearly took some abuse before packaging and in transport. Hope it will not impact their long-term performance. ### ⭐ Review *by A***R on 9 June 2023* I purchased 5 of these HDDs, all arrived DOA. And later I noticed a Used HDD always became available on the listing when I returned mine... Then I started to check the serial numbers and realized I received the same previously known bad HDDs. More than once. Do not by USED HDDs here. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***K on 20 December 2023* It vibrates noticeable when on a large wooden table. It gets warmer for my expectations and it does work flawless! What I don't understand is why there is no Toshiba label like in the Amazon picture. The label is like off brand, like I would print myself if not motivated to a better label. Kind of shocking but then again what do I care about the sort of a label, my worry is reliability, ability to read and transfer data with no mistakes. Windows 10 I use (x32 bit) is definitely not up to the task, though. Sometimes I think that Windows 10 is not the best to transfer data but the hard drive is flawless!!! I switched to win 10 x64 and had no problems at all, except for windows 10 being too over protective (good luck trying to disable the antivirus (successfully) on windows 10 x 64). Why does it vibrate? Motor, materials and the hard rubber standoffs. I put it into an Amazon enclosure and the vibration vanished (although the enclosure itself has problems with weak fan and rubber standoffs). I purchased a temp reader on Amazon to have a better understanding of operating temperature. With that type of disk size one must be vigilant but I never had a failed Toshiba drive yet and certainly don't expect it with this hard drive. Thank you Toshiba and Amazon!!! Incredible quality. Thank you Amazon and Amazon delivery person/system!!!! Jan 23 2024 I made few corrections to the text above, Windows 10 x64 works very well, that unswitchable sob antivirus keeps interacting, tried everything; the Toshiba hard drive is FLAWLESS (have I said FLAWLESS?). I purchased a 3.5" hard drive travel/storage case on Amazon and I am glad I did: while travelling, I kept praising myself for not being cheap and buying the protective case, the name is Orico, please look it up on Amazon, well worth the money even if you don't travel, for travellers it is an absolute must have. Again, Toshiba hard drives, all of them are the best quality, I have never (have I said already NEVER?) lost a Toshiba hard drive and have a whole tub of NotToBeMentionedByName hard drives, everything you can name is in that sorry tub-RIP, kept for historical purposes. Yes, you bet, I keep trying to advertise the Toshiba Hard drive, no matter what capacity; they do always work- have I said, FLAWLESS??? ## Frequently Bought Together - Toshiba 16TB Enterprise Internal Hard Drive – MG Series 3.5' SATA HDD Mainstream Server and Storage, 24/7 Reliable Operation, Hyperscale and Cloud Storage (MG08ACA16TE) - Samsung 980 SSD 1TB PCle 3.0x4, NVMe M.2 2280, Internal Solid State Drive, Storage for PC, Laptops, Gaming and More, HMB Technology, Intelligent Turbowrite, Speeds of up-to 3,500MB/s, MZ-V8V1T0B/AM --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/277408696-toshiba-nearline-hdd-16tb-3-5inch-sata-12gbit-s-7200rpm](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/277408696-toshiba-nearline-hdd-16tb-3-5inch-sata-12gbit-s-7200rpm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
