Hot-swap 2.5in SATA bay for PCI slot

This StarTech S25SLOTR installs a 2.5in SATA drive into a rear PCI expansion slot for hot-swappable access. The trayless aluminum and steel enclosure connects via standard SATA data and power cables and supports drives up to 500 GB. A latchable door and LED indicator show power and activity status.

Suits single-drive hot-swap needs.

Builders who want quick, tool-less access to one 2.5in SATA drive from the back of a chassis will find this bay useful. It is not suited for users who need to install more than one drive in the same slot. The unit also does not support drives larger than the stated 500 GB capacity limit.

SATA I/II/III interface up to 6 Gbps

The bay passes the native SATA I/II/III signal through to the host with a maximum throughput of 6 Gbps. This single specification determines whether the drive you plan to use can run at its rated speed.

Questions about this item

What does the 6 Gbps SATA III support mean once the bay is installed in a real PC?

The 6 Gbps SATA III rating lets a 2.5in SATA SSD or hard drive run at its full native speed through the PCI slot, provided the motherboard SATA port also supports 6 Gbps.

Which SATA standard does the interface use and what speed does it cap at in practice?

The bay uses SATA I, II and III and caps at the SATA III maximum of 6 Gbps when connected to a matching motherboard port.

What does the unit physically need to fit and mount in a computer case?

It requires one free PCI expansion slot at the rear, a 7-pin SATA data cable and a 15-pin SATA power cable from the motherboard or PSU.
