Drive Bay Converter

Server Builders Needing Hot-Swap Bays

This unit suits administrators adding hot-swap storage to a server chassis with 5.25-inch openings. It includes five SATA cables and LED indicators for power, drive activity, fan status and high temperature. Builders who need more than five drive bays or a different bay form factor should consider other options.

6.0 Gb/s SAS SATA Interface

The backplane delivers up to 6.0 Gb/s per drive across both SAS and SATA protocols. RAID support requires a separate controller card. The aluminum chassis uses conductive dissipation grooves to help manage drive heat during continuous operation.
