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
