Description (last modified by )
Dear Smartmontools-Team,
I propose an update to the drivedb.h file in order to correctly support the Toshiba MG-Series harddrives. The current Regexes do not cover all drive models (especially the SAS-Models are not covered). The proposed changes can be found in the attached diff file.
Information on the MG-Series drives are sourced from this Toshiba datasheet:
https://www.toshiba-storage.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04
Toshiba Model numbers have the following meaning:
1-4 Series Number MGnn: with nn in 04,05,05,06,07,08,09,10 5 Interface A: SATA S: SAS 6 RPM C: 7,200 rpm 7 Height A: 26.1 mm F: unknown 8-10 Formatted Capacity 400: 4 TByte 600: 6 TByte 800: 8 TByte 10T: 10 TByte 12T: 12 TByte 14T: 14 TByte 16T: 16 TByte 20T: 20 TByte 22T: 22 TByte 11-12 Options A: 4K Native (4Kn) AF E: 512 B Emulation (512e) AF N: 512 B Native (512n) Format AY: 4K Native (4Kn) AF and SIE ( Sanitize Instant Erase ) EY: 512 B Emulation (512e) AF and SIE ( Sanitize Instant Erase ) NY: 512 B Native (512n) Format and SIE ( Sanitize Instant Erase )

However, I belive this support page describing the model numbers is not 100% correct!
I hope that helps improving smartmontools.
Best regards
Sascha

More precise description of my interpretation of:
https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/ap-en/storage/support/storage-products-hdd.html
I belive this file is correct until the MG04- or MG05-Series.
However, in later series it seems the interface speed field is also being used for indicating the drive capacity as drives with more than 9 TB came out.

Replying to S.Haupt:
... The current Regexes do not cover all drive models (especially the SAS-Models are not covered).
SAS drives are not included to the database, see the FAQ.
This results in File not found.
Toshiba Model numbers have the following meaning: ...
Such a model number scheme does not imply that each combination actually exists.
Please note that the entries for the MG06-MG10 (12-22TB) SATA drives were done based on information directly received from Toshiba Europe.
Please provide a list of identify strings or (if possible) smartctl -x -a ...
outputs of actual drives not matched.

drivedb.h for Toshiba MG-Series drives (excluding SAS-Drives)
comment:4 by , 9 months ago
Dear Christian
Sorry for the incomplete link.
Here is the correct one, I have used:
https://www.toshiba-storage.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/TOSHIBA_16046_DS_MGSeries_server_04-10.pdf
Various other documents with the drives numbers can be found on the Toshiba Storage website:
https://www.toshiba-storage.com/de/products/enterprise-capacity-hard-drive-mg-series/
https://storage.toshiba.com/enterprise-hdd/enterprise-capacity
https://storage.toshiba.com/docs/enterprise-hdd-documents/hdd-mgenb.pdf?sfvrsn=cd497cfe_2
https://storage.toshiba.com/docs/enterprise-hdd-documents/ehdd-mg08_product-overview_rev-3.pdf
As I was not aware that SAS drives are not included in the DB, therefore I regarded them in the regexes. I will modify the database file and remove the SAS drives. Therefore just '[AS]' must be replaced by 'S'. I attached an updated diff file.
I have two MG08ADA800E and one MG06ACA800E drives for testing.
However, I also used the drive numbers that were already listed in the comments inside drivedb.h and the numbers from the datasheets.
For testing I used this command:
smartctl -P showall 'TOSHIBA <Drive Number>'
<Drive Number> has been replaced by the drive numbers from the PDF.
I checked the following <Drive Number> from the PDF:
Air/CMR Drives
MG04ACA100N
MG04ACA200N
MG08ADA400N
MG04ACA200E
MG08ADA400E
MG08ADA600E
MG08ADA800E
MG06ACA10TE
MG04ACA200A
MG08ADA400A
MG08ADA600A
MG08ADA800A
MG06ACA10TA
Helium/CMR Drives
MG07ACA12TE
MG07ACA14TE
MG08ACA16TE
MG07ACA12TA
MG07ACA14TA
MG08ACA16TA
Helium/MAMR Drives
MG09ACA18TE
MG10ACA20TE
MG10AFA22TE

I will add the missing drives soon. Model family names were coordinated with Toshiba Europe and will therefore be left unchanged for now.
