## Long description

The StarTech 2-Drive 2.5in Trayless Hot-Swap SATA Mobile Rack Backplane (3.5in, black) is a front-mount backplane designed to fit a standard 3.5in front bay and accept two 2.5in SATA hard drives or solid state drives. The trayless design enables quick install and removal of drives without separate mounting brackets, and the backplane supports SATA III transfer speeds up to 6 Gbps when used with a compatible controller. The unit ships with required SATA cables and features a compact black bezel suited for servers, workstations, NAS devices and other systems that require rapid drive access and easy expansion.
Advantages
The trayless mechanism eliminates the need for drive trays or mounting hardware, reducing installation time and simplifying frequent drive swaps. Hot-swap capability allows drives to be inserted or removed without powering down the host system when supported by the system and controller. Compact dimensions and a black bezel make the module easy to integrate into typical 3.5in front openings while the aluminum construction and a high insertion rating are intended to provide durable, repeated use.
Suitable for
Server and rackmount drive expansion where rapid drive replacement is required
Workstations and NAS systems for adding or rotating 2.5in HDDs/SSDs
Operating system image deployment and cloning tasks that require frequent access to multiple drives
Industrial or lab environments that need quick access to data without opening the chassis
Key specifications
Form factor: installs in a standard 3.5in front bay and accepts two 2.5in drives
Interface support: SATA III compatible for transfer rates up to 6 Gbps with compatible controller
Drive support: two 2.5in SATA HDDs or SSDs, trayless installation
Material and build: aluminum construction with front bezel in black
Physical dimensions: approximately 102 × 134 × 24 mm

How to use
Install the backplane into an available 3.5in front bay following your system chassis instructions and secure it in place. Connect the supplied SATA cables to the backplane SATA ports and to the host SATA controller or motherboard. Insert 2.5in SATA drives directly into the trayless slots until they click into place; the design removes the need for separate mounting trays. When your system and controller support hot-swap, drives can be inserted and removed while the system is powered on, observing standard operating system and RAID controller procedures for safe removal and insertion.
Usage recommendations
Use SATA III-compatible controllers and cabling to achieve full transfer speeds up to 6 Gbps. Follow your operating system and RAID controller guidelines when performing hot-swap operations to prevent data loss. For frequent drive changes, ensure proper handling and ESD precautions to protect drives and connectors.
