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.
