24-Bay 4U Rackmount Chassis

The HOTCFWQ S465-24 is a 4U rackmount server chassis built for high-density storage deployments. It fits a standard 19-inch rack and houses twenty-four hot-swappable 3.5-inch drive bays behind a mini-SAS backplane. The enclosure is constructed from 1.0 mm SGCC zinc-coated steel and supports motherboards up to 12 by 13 inches.

Suited For Dense Storage Arrays

This chassis suits builders assembling cloud storage, big data, or surveillance platforms that need twenty-four SAS or SATA drives in a single 4U enclosure. The 6 Gb/s or 12 Gb/s backplane options with integrated temperature monitoring serve distributed storage workloads. Buyers needing a tower form factor, fewer than twenty-four bays, or a different drive interface should consider other enclosures.

Mini-SAS Backplane Determines Compatibility

The backplane type decides whether this chassis matches your controller and drives. Options include 6 Gb/s or 12 Gb/s mini-SAS or expander backplanes, each with a temperature control chipset. Verify your HBA or RAID card supports the exact backplane variant before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 6Gb/s miniSAS, 12Gb/s miniSAS, 6Gb/s expander or 12Gb/s expander backplane for my HOTCFWQ S465-24 chassis?

Choose 12Gb/s miniSAS for direct-attached SAS-3 controllers and maximum per-drive bandwidth; choose 12Gb/s expander when you need all 24 bays behind a single HBA port and can accept shared throughput; the 6Gb/s variants cost less and suit SATA or SAS-2 drives.

What does the 6Gb/s rating on the 24 hot-swap bays mean once the HOTCFWQ S465-24 is built?

Each 3.5" bay can transfer up to 6Gb/s per SATA III or SAS-2 drive; with a 12Gb/s backplane the same bay supports 12Gb/s SAS-3 drives, but the 6Gb/s figure caps SATA and older SAS devices.

How does the miniSAS interface on the HOTCFWQ S465-24 limit real-world drive speed?

A 6Gb/s miniSAS link caps each connected drive at 6Gb/s, while a 12Gb/s miniSAS link allows 12Gb/s SAS-3 drives to run at full speed; SATA drives stay at 6Gb/s regardless of the link.
