Startech 3.5´´ SATA Mobile Rack 3 Bays

The Removable 3-drive backplane lets you quickly install and hot-swap 3.5´´ drives from the front of your computer, by turning two 5.25´´ bays into a hot-swappable interface for you to connect up to three 3.5´´ SATA or SAS hard drives (HDD).

- For added versatility, the hard drive bay can interface with SATA I/II/III and SAS I/II hard drives an ideal accommodation for enterprise system applications.

- For a quick and secure method of installing and removing drives, the backplane features ejection levers and a key-lock design.

To help prevent drive failure, the bay provides excellent heat dissipation with a built-in fan, and a vented solid aluminum enclosure.

Applications:

- Imaging for new system builds or configurations, use the hot swap bay in your master system to quickly copy the Windows OS to multiple blank hard drives.

- Add a hot-swap bay to a server or workstation computer that you can use as a removable backup solution.

- IT environments where you need to quickly insert/replace hard drives with no external HDD enclosure required Benefits:

- Delivers peak drive performance, with support for full SATA III/SAS II data transfer speeds up to 6Gbps.

- Flexible drive options with support for both SATA and SAS drive interfaces.

- Helps maintain ideal drive operating temperatures by providing excellent heat dissipation, vented aluminum housing and a built-in fan.
