14% more capacity than prior 14TB models, MG08 16TB drives are compatible with the widest range of applications and operating systems, and adapted to mixed random and sequential read and write workloads in both cloud and traditional datacenter environments. The MG08 Series is Toshiba’s second-generation helium- sealed HDD family, and eighth-generation Enterprise Capacity HDD family. “Toshiba has delivered its industry- leading 16TB capacity and improved power efficiency by utilizing the 9-disk helium design, introduced last year in 14TB models, and its own advanced precision laser welding process to ensure the helium remains sealed inside the drive case,” comments Larry Martinez- Palomo, General Manager, HDD Business Unit, Toshiba Electronics Europe. The MG08 features 7,200rpm performance, a 550TB per year workload rating[3], a 2.5 million-hour MTTF[4], a 512Mib cache buffer[5], and a choice of SATA and SAS interfaces—all in an industry-standard, 3.5-inch[6] form factor. The MG08 Series further illustrates Toshiba’s commitment to advancing HDD design to meet the evolving needs for storage devices suited for use in cloud-scale servers and storage infrastructure. As data growth continues at an explosive pace, the industry- leading 16TB CMR capacity will help cloud-scale service providers and storage solutions designers to achieve higher storage densities for cloud, hybrid-cloud and on-premises rack-scale storage. Larry Martinez-Palomo from Toshiba Electronics Europe adds: “With its improved power efficiency and 16TB capacity, the MG08 Series will help lower the TCO of storage infrastructure designed for applications such as data-protection, big data aggregation, content serving and digital archiving.” Shipments of samples of 16TB MG08 Series drives to customers will begin sequentially in Q1.

Osram makes car keys superfluous: unlocking with iris scan and facial recognition “With these products we are covering a number of different applications and have now succeeded in extending biometric identification to cars. Once more, light-based technology is laying the foundation for innovations in the vehicles of tomorrow”, said Walter Rothmund, Marketing Manager Automotive for Emitter Laser Sensor at Osram Opto Semiconductors. The new Synios SFH 4772S A01 is ideal for use in iris scanning systems. This application is best known at present for unlocking smartphones and tablets without the need for a password. The IRED functions here as a light source, illuminating the iris with infrared light in a suitable wavelength so that a camera can capture an image of the iris pattern – whatever the color of the eye. The system then compares this information with the stored data and unlocks the device if there is a match. SFH 4772S A01 emits infrared light with a wavelength of 810 nm, which is best suitable for all different eye colours, and achieves an optical output of 1070 mW at 1 A. The second product, the Synios SFH 4775S A01, is particularly suitable for facial recognition and driver monitoring, among other things. Both these applications ideally require a wavelength of 940 nm. The IRED has an optical output of 1650 mW at 1.5 A, but has also been designed for high pulse loads up to 5 A. With these two new components Osram is giving its customers greater freedom of design, and not only because of the compact dimensions of 2.0 mm x 2.8 mm x 0.6 mm. Depending on requirements, customers can place matching optics over the component to save space. The two power emitters are Lambertian emitters with flat encapsulation. Double-stack chip technology ensures high output power. Both products are qualified for automotive applications and approved for temperatures up to 125° Celsius. They will be available from the spring of 2019.
