drivedb.h: Toshiba MG-Series improvement — at Initial Version

Description

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
