I use these for systems that require a fast clone recovery. I hook up the two top bays to power and data. Put the system drive in the top bay. Place a drive to be cloned into the center. Clone it. Then store it in the bottom not hooked up bay. In case of failure just put the spare in the online slot. Back up in seconds not hours or days. **Q: I see this can interface with sas drives - does it act as a sas controller or does my board need to have an sas controller?** A: No, the HSB3SATSASBA allows SAS drives to connect but is not a SAS controller. Your computer will still need a SAS controller to read the drives. Matt, StarTech.com Support **Q: Does anyone know if this will fit into an hp z640? worried about how it slides in and mounts with the z640's 5.25" bays.** A: The HSB3SATSASBA has not been tested on an HP z640. The rack uses standard 5.25" mounting points. Brandon, StarTech.com Support **Q: will this function normally if mounted sideways?** A: It should, there are cases, storage devices, and NAS devices from big name manufacturers where hard drives are positioned on their side with no problems. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Used product *by V***V on 19 September 2024* The product was open with visible scratches and worst of all one of the disk push clips was broken. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 3-Bay Hot Swap Backplane for 3.5in SAS II/SATA III - 6 Gbps HDD - Aluminum Trayless Mobile Rack Backplane (HSB3SATSASBA),Black - ADCAUDX SATA-III Cable-1M 6Pcs/Set-6Gbps-SATA Cable Long Replacement for Bitcoin Computer-Server CD DVD Drives Raid HDD-SSD (3.3FT) - StarTech.com 15.7 in (400 mm) SATA Power Splitter Adapter Cable - M/F - 4x Serial ATA Power Cable Splitter (PYO4SATA) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/260845599-startech-com-3-bay-hot-swap-backplane-for-3-5in](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/260845599-startech-com-3-bay-hot-swap-backplane-for-3-5in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
