Toshiba MG08 (MG08ACA16TE) 16TB HDD Review

To test the real-life performance of a drive we use a mix of folder/file types and by using the FastCopy utility (which gives a time as well as MB/s result) we record the performance of drive reading from & writing to a 256GB Samsung SSD850 PRO.

We use the following folder/file types:

  • 100GB file
  • 60GB iso image
  • 50GB File folder – 28,523 files.
  • 3D Printer file folder.
  • AutoCAD File folder.
  • 4K Movie Clip folder.
  • 8K Movie Scenes folder.


The MG08ACA16TE had no problems dealing with any of our real-life file transfers apart from the 50GB File Folder transfer, although to be fair to the drive, this is the one test that nearly all drives slow down for.
