HP Midline Hard Drives

Key takeaways

  • 1,625 listings match this collection right now.
  • Midline is HP's branding for the nearline capacity tier, not a mechanically different drive; a midline part and a generic nearline drive of the same spec are the same hardware.
  • Match a midline drive on the specification printed on the drive label, since an HP kit number alone does not tell you the manufacturer model underneath it.
  • Midline spans both SAS and SATA interfaces, so matching the interface already wired into the array bay still applies the same as it would on a generic nearline drive.

Midline is HP's name for its 7200 RPM enterprise capacity drive class, the ProLiant equivalent of nearline. These are the SATA and SAS drives HP sold for bulk storage bays in ProLiant servers and MSA arrays.

How to choose server hard drives

Match the interface and link rate the controller or backplane presents, the bay width (2.5-inch or 3.5-inch), and the rotational class already in the array: 10K and 15K drives for latency-sensitive duty, 7200 RPM nearline drives for capacity. Replacing an array member also means matching capacity and sector format, or the controller can reject the drive.
