The new series utilizes the latest magnetic recording
technologies to achieve high areal density, helping to improve
reliability compared to the prior MD04ABA-V Series. With up to 6TB
capacity1, the new DT02-V Series supports a maximum of 32
high-resolution camera streams2 and is suitable for use in leading
surveillance DVR and NVR platforms with as many as eight drive
bays.
“Our latest surveillance HDD family, the DT02-V Series, delivers
up to 6TB of storage capacity, and is designed for use with leading
surveillance DVR and NVR platforms,” says Shuji Takaoka, General
Manager of Storage Products Sales & Marketing Division at
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation. “It also
provides a variety of capacity options while improving reliability
for high resolution surveillance video streams.”
The DT02-V Series is designed for robust 24/7 operation at HDD
temperatures as high as 40ᵒC for 600,000 load/unload cycles, at
rated workload3 of 180TB a year. Other features include a SATA
6Gbit/s interface4 with a 128MiB cache to help minimizing frame
drops, and a robust mechanical platform designed to achieve a 1
million-hour MTTF5.
The DT02-V Series 4TB samples are available from today, 6TB
samples will be planned from Jan 2020, and a 2TB sample is expected
to be available in March 2020.

1 Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a megabyte (MB) as 1
000 000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1 000 000 000 bytes and a
terabyte (TB) as 1 000 000 000 000 bytes. A computer operating
system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the
definition of 1GB = 2 = 1 073 741 824 bytes and therefore shows
less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including
examples of various media files) will vary based on file size,
formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as
Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software
applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
2 Number of surveillance cameras support capability is defined by
performance simulation with High Definition cameras at 4Mbit/s
rate. Actual results may vary based on various factors, including
the types of cameras installed, the system’s hardware and software
capabilities, and the video compression technology used, as well as
system variables such as resolution, frames per second, and other
settings. 3 Workload is a measure of the data throughout of the
year, and it is defined as the amount of data written, read or
verified by commands from the host system. 4 Read and write speed
may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions,
and file size. 5 MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) is not a guarantee or
estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean
failure rates for a large number of products which may not
accurately reflect actual operation. Actual operating life of the
product may be different from the MTTF.
