Drive bay converter
The unit fits two 5.25 inch bays and provides three hot-swap trays for 3.5 inch SAS or SATA drives. It is aimed at server builders who need front-access storage in a standard chassis. A key lock secures each tray against accidental removal. The aluminium body acts as a heatsink with conductive dissipation grooves.
Interface bandwidth limit
Each tray supports SAS I, SAS II and SATA I, II, III at up to 6.0 Gbps. The backplane itself does not add RAID; a separate controller is required for any RAID configuration. Transfer speed will not exceed the 6.0 Gbps ceiling of the SATA III or SAS II link.
Tray capacity
Three 3.5 inch drives are the maximum the device can hold. Builders who need more than three bays must use additional enclosures. The included 70 mm fan and speed switch manage airflow for the installed drives.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drive configuration for this rack?
The unit accepts three 3.5-inch drives natively and also supports 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives in the same hot-swap trays.
What does the 6.0 Gbps rating mean once the rack is installed in a server?
It allows each drive to run at the full SATA III or SAS 6.0 Gbps transfer rate, limited only by the controller and the drive itself.
Which interface standard does the backplane use and what speed does it cap at in practice?
The backplane carries both SAS and SATA signals and is rated for 6.0 Gbps, so drives operate at up to that speed.
