Technical details

The LINDY SAS/SATA RAID Back Plane system is an internal drive housing that supports up to four 2.5" SAS/SATA hard
drives in a single 5.25" expansion bay. It can easily be installed into a case or expansion system and is ideal for servers
and workstations alike, allowing instant hot-swap access to the hard drives. To add RAID functionality, simply connect the
back plane system to your computers RAID controller.

As the back plane system uses 2.5" SAS/SATA HDDs (not supplied) it consumes only a fraction of the power used by
similar systems using 3.5" HDDs and requires less cooling - so is quieter to run.
