2TB NLSAS – 2TB NLSAS HDD

Description

1. Capacity:

   • 2TB (terabytes) of storage capacity for each HDD (Hard Disk Drive).

2. NLSAS (Nearline SAS):

   • NLSAS stands for Nearline Serial Attached SCSI (Serial Attached SCSI) technology.
   • It is a storage interface designed for high-capacity, cost-effective storage.
   • NLSAS HDDs typically offer a balance of performance, reliability, and affordability for bulk data storage needs.

3. Performance:

   • Typically, NLSAS drives offer faster data transfer speeds compared to traditional SATA drives, making them suitable for use in data-intensive applications and storage arrays.
   • They are often found in enterprise or server environments.

4. Reliability:

   • Built to handle heavy workloads and offer high reliability over extended periods of operation.
   • Typically have higher Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) compared to standard consumer-grade drives.

5. Form Factor:

   • NLSAS HDDs are typically 3.5-inch drives, which is the standard for high-capacity enterprise-level storage.

6. RPM (Revolutions per Minute):

   • NLSAS HDDs often come with 7200 RPM speeds, ensuring a good balance of speed and power efficiency for nearline applications.

7. Use Case:

   • Commonly used in data centers, enterprise servers, or storage arrays that require high-capacity storage but don’t demand the ultra-high performance of SAS drives.

8. Interface:

   • Uses the Serial Attached SCSI interface, which provides better scalability and faster data transfer rates than traditional SATA connections.

9. Power Consumption:

   • Typically more power-efficient compared to enterprise-level SAS drives, making them ideal for environments that prioritize energy efficiency.

10. Hot Swappable:

• Many NLSAS drives are hot-swappable, allowing for easier replacements and maintenance without needing to shut down the system.

11. Enterprise Use:

• NLSAS drives are often used in RAID arrays for redundancy and data protection, supporting high-capacity and cost-effective storage solutions for businesses.

12. Cost-Effective:

• While NLSAS drives offer better performance than SATA, they tend to be more affordable than high-performance SAS drives, making them an attractive option for bulk storage needs.
