A poster in another forum mentioned that Seagate (and Hitachi, amongst
others) is now selling something labeled as "NearLine SAS" storage
(e.g. Seagate's NL35 series).
Is it me, or does this look like nothing more than their standard
7200-rpm enterprise drives with a SAS or FC interface instead of a SATA one?
I can't see any real advantage of those over the existing enterprise
SATA drives (e.g. Seagate's Constellation ES series), other than not
needing a FC/SAS->SATA gateway in the external drive enclosure.
