## Long description

The StarTech.com Mobile Rack Backplane HSB4SATSASBA converts three 5.25" bays into a trayless, hot-swappable interface for up to four 3.5" SATA or SAS hard drives. The backplane supports SATA I/II/III and SAS I/II drives, permits data transfer rates up to 6 Gbps, and uses an aluminum vented enclosure with a built-in fan for drive cooling. The unit ships with necessary SATA cables and fits enterprise and workstation environments where fast drive access and serviceability are required.
Advantages
The backplane supports full SATA III and SAS II transfer speeds (up to 6 Gbps) while offering compatibility with both SATA and SAS drives. Its trayless design with ejection levers and a key-lock mechanism enables quick, secure drive installation and removal. Thermal management is addressed by a vented aluminum housing and an integrated cooling fan to help maintain proper drive operating temperatures. The product is RoHS certified and includes SATA cables; it is covered by a 2-year StarTech.com warranty with free lifetime technical support.
Suitable for
Servers and enterprise storage systems requiring hot-swap drive access
Workstations or desktop systems needing easy drive replacement or testing

How to use

Insert compatible 3.5" SATA or SAS drives into the front slots until they engage with the internal connector and the ejection lever secures the drive. Use the key-lock to prevent unauthorized removal when needed. For removal, unlock (if locked), operate the ejection lever and slide the drive out carefully. Ensure the system is configured for hot-swap operation in the OS or RAID controller before removing drives while powered.
Usage recommendations
Install the backplane in a chassis with adequate airflow, verify drive compatibility with your controller, and ensure RAID or OS hot-swap settings are enabled before performing live drive removal or replacement. Regularly monitor drive temperatures and maintain the fan to sustain effective cooling.
