Product overview
The Toshiba 5TB 7200RPM SAS 6Gb/s 3.5-inch hard Drive is supplied under part number MG04SCA500E. Rebuild time scales with capacity, so a large drive in a parity group is a longer window of exposure — this one spins at 7200RPM. Tell us the RAID level and group size and we will say plainly whether the geometry still makes sense.
Ask for the datasheet and firmware notes with the quote; we would rather you check our claim than take it.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against MG04SCA500E specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Firmware family matched
A mechanically identical drive with the wrong firmware is rejected by the controller; we check the family, not just the capacity.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is MG04SCA500E genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in Toshiba packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
- Will MG04SCA500E work in my server?
- Send the server model or the shelf it is going into. Vendor-keyed firmware is the usual reason an identical-looking drive is rejected, so we check that alongside interface and form factor.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes — POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Bulk capacity usually sits behind the flash tier that feeds a training cluster rather than under it.
