The Startech SATSASBP425 portable rack backplane is a rack designed to hold up to four 2.5-inch SSD or HDD drives in a standard 5.25-inch bay, compatible with both SATA and SAS interfaces. This device enables hot-swapping and flexible storage management in servers and desktop computers, allowing drives to be inserted or removed without shutting down the system, ideal for environments with frequent maintenance or storage upgrades. Its aluminum frame optimizes heat dissipation, complemented by two 40 mm fans that improve airflow and maintain stable operating temperatures, protecting data and extending the lifespan of installed drives. Additionally, the rack supports both vertical and horizontal mounting, providing versatility and compatibility with a wide range of chassis and server setups. The removable steel trays feature a locking system to enhance physical security, preventing accidental or unauthorized removal, and are interchangeable between one- and four-bay models, facilitating quick and easy drive swaps across different systems. The NSS (“Non-Scratch SATA”) connector ensures superior durability, supporting over 50,000 insertion cycles without contact wear, improving connection reliability compared to standard solutions. This backplane supports drives with heights from 5 mm to 15 mm and is compatible with SATA III and SAS II technologies, reaching transfer speeds up to 6 Gbps when used with compatible controllers, making it a high-performance solution for primary storage as well as RAID or Hyper Duo™ configurations. Physically, the device is compact (146 mm wide, 152 mm deep, and 42 mm high) with a professional black finish. It also includes SATA cables and two keys for the tray locking system. Overall, the Startech SATSASBP425 is a robust, functional component offering a professional solution for efficient storage expansion and management in systems requiring flexibility, durability, and broad compatibility.
