FAQ

What does nearline classification mean?
Nearline drives are optimised for 24/7 continuous operation in RAID arrays, balancing the performance of faster 15000RPM drives with the capacity advantages and cost efficiency of slower alternatives.

Can this drive be mixed with different capacity drives in a RAID array?
RAID arrays typically perform better with uniform drive types and capacities. Mixing drive sizes may limit array capacity to the smallest drive. Consult our technical team for your specific configuration.
