Nearline Server Hard Drives

Key takeaways

  • 1,735 listings match this collection right now.
  • NL-SAS drives carry the full SAS command set and dual-port support on a 7,200 RPM mechanism, behaving like enterprise SAS drives to a controller despite being a capacity class.
  • NL-SATA uses the ATA command set instead, which is why RAID controllers can handle command timeout and error recovery differently between NL-SAS and NL-SATA drives at the same capacity.
  • Nearline drives are rated for continuous datacenter duty but at a lower annual workload than 10K or 15K drives, since they are built for capacity, not constant random I/O.

Nearline drives are 7200 RPM enterprise capacity drives with the vibration tolerance and duty rating of a server part, sold on SAS interfaces as NL-SAS and on SATA as NL-SATA. They are the capacity tier behind 10K and 15K performance drives.

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.
