1U 4-Bay Trayless Chassis

This 1U server chassis holds four 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives in a trayless design. It fits Micro ATX or ATX motherboards and includes a 6G SAS/SATA backplane with a miniSAS SFF-8087 interface. Two front USB 3.0 ports and four 4cm fans provide connectivity and airflow. The steel enclosure uses a single 1U power supply.

High-Density Storage Builds

Suits administrators building compact storage nodes or backup appliances that need four hot-swap bays in one rack unit. The anodized front panel with a lock secures the drives. Builders who need more than four bays, 2.5-inch drive support, or redundant power supplies should look at other form factors.

6Gb/s miniSAS Backplane

The backplane delivers up to 6Gb/s transfer rates for SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III drives through a single miniSAS SFF-8087 connector. This interface determines whether your RAID controller or HBA can drive all four bays at full speed. Verify your controller has a compatible miniSAS port before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the 6G SAS/SATA backplane with miniSAS SFF-8087 interface limit drive speed to 6Gb/s?

Yes, the backplane supports SAS and SATA drives at up to 6Gb/s transfer rate through the miniSAS SFF-8087 connection.

What motherboard form factors fit inside the 19.00" x 1.75" x 15.15" steel chassis?

The chassis accepts Micro ATX and ATX motherboards within the 1U rackmount dimensions.

How are the 3.5" drives installed in the trayless bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each 3.5" SAS or SATA drive directly into a front bay until it seats on the backplane; the common miss is not pushing firmly enough to engage the miniSAS connector.
