Hot-swap backplane for six drives
The Supermicro BPN-SAS-827HD accessory installs six 3.5 inch SATA hard drives into a single hot-swap cage. It serves storage builders who need dense, tool-less drive replacement without powering down the system.
Sustained multi-drive throughput
Each bay connects through a SAS interface that maintains consistent bandwidth when all six drives operate simultaneously. The backplane distributes load evenly so sequential workloads do not throttle after an initial burst.
SAS interface lane limits
The SAS link provides a fixed number of lanes that caps aggregate throughput when every drive is active. Builders who need more concurrent bandwidth must add a second backplane or a controller with additional ports.

Questions about this item
Does the 827 backplane add audible fan noise or extra heat when six 3.5" drives run continuously?
The 827 is a passive SAS/SATA backplane with no integrated fan; drive heat and noise depend on the chassis airflow and the drives themselves.
What host connector or controller must I already have to use the six hot-swap bays?
The backplane presents six SATA ports that require a compatible SAS or SATA HBA, RAID card or motherboard header with enough lanes.
Will the 827 backplane work in a server that only has legacy 3 Gb/s SATA ports?
Yes — SATA is backward compatible, so the six bays will operate at the slower 3 Gb/s link speed when connected to older ports.
