To maximize performance and utilize the full speed potential of your SATA III hard drives, this HDD Backplane supports SATA III for transfer speeds up to 6 Gbps when paired with a compatible controller. Also a perfect addition for operating system image deployment and any task that requires being able to quickly access large volumes of data on the fly, the hot swap bay provides everything you need to expedite important projects while maintaining a reliable storage solution. With support for SATA HDD speeds up to 6.0 Gbps, this backplane is fully compatible with RAID installations to ensure maximum performance and versatility for enhanced storage applications. Review: Working great for 2 years - I bought this almost 2 years ago and use it in an Intel i5 CPU/Windows 7 machine. It appears solidly built and was easy to install (I build machines sometimes so it was easy for me at least). I needed to be able to easily "cold"-swap SSD drives (including the operating system drive), and for this it has worked flawlessly. I always shutdown the machine between swapping drives, and so have never needed to hot-swap drives so cannot comment on how hot-swap works. When I first ordered it I wondered how long the latches would hold up, based on how small the latch buttons looked in the picture. But I actually like how the buttons work and have had no trouble so far. Basically, you push the button towards the right which opens the spring-loaded door and ejects the drive part-way. You then slide in the new drive and close the door until the button clicks to latch the door closed. Review: Excellent service - My second one. The first lasted 4 years with daily disk exchanges (for backups). Finally the connector wore out. I judge this to be excellent service for the money. It has no effect on disk function, as it is only a set of connectors. No effect one way or the other on disk speed, which are entirely determined by the HDD and the controller Update 5/30/14. My second one is already showing problems, with the connectors wearing out due to daily hot-swapping, less than one year after purchase. So, I'm not sure the quality is still at the previous high level. This is ONLY a problem if you are swapping drives frequently, but it appears the connectors are not as durable. I will look elsewhere next time ## Features - INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY: The mobile rack backplane for 2.5in SATA III turns a single 3.5in bay into a hot-swappable interface for up to two 2.5" SATA hard drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) - MAXIMUM COMPATIBILITY: The hot swap backplane for 2.5in SATA III can interface with SATA I/II/III SSDs and HDDs and does not require additional drivers or software - an ideal solution for technicians and IT professionals - EASY TO USE: This trayless hot swap mobile rack backplane features dedicated front eject buttons and individual power and activity LEDs for each drive slot - Includes screw kit, LP4 to SATA, and SATA cables: 7-pin (data) and 15-pin (power) - MAINTAIN OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE: To help prevent drive failure, the aluminum mobile rack backplane features an open-top design and vented slot divider for maximum passive heat dissipation - DURABILITY: Aluminum construction with 50,000+ insertion rating for maximum durability and performance - Includes two plastic protective film sheets for the bottom side of the hard drives ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001CYZC38 | | Best Sellers Rank | #892 in Enclosures | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Built-In Media | Drive Enclosure | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 253 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1000 megabits_per_second | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030827980 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 inches | | Hardware Interface | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.3"L x 4"W x 0.9"H | | Item Type Name | Drive Enclosure | | Item Weight | 0.29 kg | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Material | Aluminum | | Mfr Part Number | HSB220SAT25B | | Model Number | HSB220SAT25B | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.3"L x 4"W x 0.9"H | | Supported Devices Quantity | 2 | | UPC | 088021519237 132018243657 723856178739 012300275309 168141457586 308128092700 999992436815 777785508235 803982769633 797864328868 947961198141 666669824052 523160890958 065030843584 348269000967 080850169850 172302684858 745883822034 065030827980 777786364946 784039848429 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 year warranty | ## Product Details - **Hardware Interface:** SATA 6.0 Gb/s - **Brand:** StarTech - **Color:** Black - **Product Dimensions:** 5.3"L x 4"W x 0.9"H - **Hardware Platform:** PC ## Images ![StarTech.com 2 Drive 2.5in Trayless Hot Swap SATA Mobile Rack Backplane - Dual Drive SATA Mobile Rack Enclosure for 3.5 HDD (HSB220SAT25B),Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61j0kNFVLNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working great for 2 years *by R***Y on May 29, 2012* I bought this almost 2 years ago and use it in an Intel i5 CPU/Windows 7 machine.

This unit cannot be locked, which is an issue if the SSD is holding your OS. So, nice drive tray, but probably not a good idea for a drive holding your OS. BTW - KingWin does make a locking version ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 2 Drive 2.5in Trayless Hot Swap SATA Mobile Rack Backplane - Dual Drive SATA Mobile Rack Enclosure for 3.5 HDD (HSB220SAT25B),Black - SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA SSD 500GB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E500B/AM, Black - [2Packs] ORICO 2.5 SSD SATA to 3.5 Hard Drive Adapter Internal Drive Bay Converter Mounting Bracket Caddy Tray for 7 / 9.5 / 12.5mm 2.5 inch HDD / SSD with SATA III Interface(1125SS-2) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1843249-startech-com-2-drive-2-5in-trayless-hot-swap-sata](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1843249-startech-com-2-drive-2-5in-trayless-hot-swap-sata) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
