The StarTech.com 4-Bay Mobile Rack Backplane is designed for enterprise environments that require reliable and efficient hard drive management. It converts three 5.25-inch bays into a hot-swappable interface for up to four 3.5-inch SAS II or SATA III hard drives, allowing for quick drive replacements without system downtime. This makes it ideal for data centers and servers where continuous operation is critical.

The backplane supports a wide range of drive types, including SATA I, II, III, and SAS I, II, ensuring compatibility with various storage solutions. Each drive bay includes power and status LEDs for easy monitoring, and the device features ejection levers and a key-lock mechanism for secure and convenient drive access. This design minimizes the risk of accidental removal and ensures that drives are properly seated.

The unit is built with a vented aluminum enclosure that enhances heat dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining optimal drive temperatures and preventing overheating. A built-in fan with speed control further improves cooling efficiency. The backplane is also UL VO flammability rated, adding an extra layer of safety in high-density storage environments.

The trayless design eliminates the need for additional drive trays, simplifying installation and reducing clutter inside the server or rack. It comes with two keys for the key-lock mechanism, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access the drives. This backplane is a versatile solution for organizations looking to maximize storage capacity while maintaining system reliability.
