## Long description

1TB 7.2K 6Gbps NL SATA 2.5" SFF HS HDD is a nearline 1-terabyte hard disk drive in a 2.5-inch small form factor with a hot-swap compatible height.

Advantages
The 1 TB capacity combined with a 7,200 RPM spindle speed delivers a balance of storage density and access performance in a 2.5" small form factor drive. The 6 Gbps SATA (SATA III) interface ensures compatibility with current SATA controllers, and the hot-swap height enables straightforward replacement and serviceability in servers and storage enclosures. As a nearline (NL) HDD, the drive is appropriate for secondary storage tiers, backups and cold or warm data repositories.
