This review is from: StarTech.com 4 Drive 2.5-Inch Removable Mobile Rack SAS SATA Backplane SATABAY425BK (Black) (Personal Computers)
I have three of these from the previous revision with eight ports (4 yellow / 4 black). The one I just received from Amazon is the newer (cheaper to manufacture) revision with only four black ports.
BEWARE: The newer revision will NOT work with SAS drives and will not work with certain SATA drives as well, namely Velociraptors. I use the three previous revisions with Velociraptors and they all work fine. In the newer product, they spin up, but aren't recognized. Mainstream 7200rpm SATA drives work well, but these newer Startech blackplanes just aren't compatible with SAS or enterprise level SATA drives, DESPITE what the specs indicate in the ad.

This review is from: StarTech.com 4 Drive 2.5-Inch Removable Mobile Rack SAS SATA Backplane SATABAY425BK (Black) (Personal Computers)
I bought this 4x2.5 SAS/SATA backplane for new HTPC I built. I had filled the case with 4 3-1/2 SATA drives and I needed a place to put 2 2-1/2 SAS drives for the OS. I had an empty 5 1/4 bay with no access to the outside of the case and this unit worked perfectly. I like how the drives fit onto a "sled" that slides in the case and plugs into connections. Very easy. I just felt the $70 was pretty pricey but I really needed a solution.

This review is from: StarTech.com 4 Drive 2.5-Inch Removable Mobile Rack SAS SATA Backplane SATABAY425BK (Black) (Personal Computers)
This is a great solution for fitting four 2.5 inch drives in one drive bay. I use it to mount solid state drives. The quality isn't at a professional level but it is perfectly adequate for home use. The racks slide in and out with no problems. The only issue I have with my unit is that the individual drive lights do not work but this is no big deal. The fan is a bit loud as are most such fans but it can be easily disconnected with no major issues. All in all I have been very satisfied.
