Suited For And Not Suited For
This cage suits administrators building dense RAID 0, 1 or 5 arrays in servers or workstations that have three free 5.25-inch bays. Builders needing more than five drives, a newer SATA revision, or a different form factor should consider other solutions.
Deciding Specification
The SATA 2.0 interface sets the maximum transfer rate for every drive installed in this backplane. Verify that your controller and drives operate correctly at this speed before purchase.
