Hard Drive
Product ID: HSB100SATBK
This 3.5in SATA hard drive hot-swap bay allows you to install a 3.5in SATA drive in an available/unused

simply insert the drive (connector first) until the door closes.

removals and insertions as part of a system building process, or integration into rackmount systems or
industrial environments.

Backplane supports SATA III for transfer speeds up to 6 Gbps when paired with a compatible controller.
Also a perfect addition for operating system image deployment and any task that requires being able to
quickly access large volumes of data on the fly, the hot swap bay provides everything you need to
expedite important projects while maintaining a reliable storage solution.
