SAS Hot Plug LFF (3.5-inch) Midline (MDL) Drives
Application
SAS Midline drives are intended for servers and storage solutions where high capacities are required.
These drives have moderately-priced reliability and performance for non-mission critical, low workload
applications, such as disk backup, archival, and reference applications.
Transfer rate
The components of a storage subsystem (e.g. the drive, the HBA/controller, firmware, and the server
backplane) should operate at the same data transfer rate or the system bandwidth will be negotiated
down to an acceptable level for all components.
