Product Overview
The StarTech.com SATSASBP125 is a single-bay mobile rack backplane designed to easily increase storage capacity for servers and PCs. It allows for the installation and removal of 2.5-inch SAS or SATA SSDs and HDDs into a standard 3.5-inch external drive bay. This solution is ideal for system integrators and administrators seeking flexible data storage management.
This backplane provides a convenient way to install and hot-swap drives between desktop computers or servers. It supports 2.5-inch SAS and SATA drives with heights ranging from 5mm to 15mm. For optimal performance, the mobile rack supports SAS II and SATA III standards, enabling data transfer speeds of up to 6Gbps when used with a compatible controller.
The backplane can be mounted vertically or horizontally, ensuring error-free insertion and maximum compatibility with any server or desktop computer. The removable steel tray can be locked to better protect the drive. The Non-Scratch SATA (NSS) connector is rated for over 50,000 insertions, ensuring durability for both the drive and the bay.
In fast-paced work environments, quick drive removal is essential. This practical backplane facilitates rapid hot-swapping between systems without requiring a power-down. The included drive tray is interchangeable and compatible with both this single-drive backplane and the four-bay backplane (SATSASBP425), allowing for easy hot-swapping between systems to access files.
Constructed from high-quality metal, the robust casing offers reliable performance. The ventilation system ensures good airflow, promoting efficient heat dissipation.
