ICY BOX IB-2240SSK Backplane f. 4x

Capacity, Form Factor, and Compatibility

• Supports up to four 2.5" SATA or SAS 2.5" drives with 9 to 15 mm height, sharing a single 5.25" drive bay.

• Supports SATA III 6 Gb/s and SAS 6 Gb/s, making it suitable for fast SSDs and 2.5" HDDs in both personal and professional environments.

Construction, Cooling, and Security

• Full metal/aluminum enclosure that provides rigidity and supports the heat dissipation of the drives.

• Equipped with 2 x 40 mm fans on the back to cool the 4 bays, with airflow through the perforated front panel.

• Each bay is removable and lockable with a key, allowing the hard drives to be hot-swapped (depending on controller support) and increasing security against unauthorized removal.

Connections and Power Supply

• Rear: 4 SATA/SAS connectors (one per bay) and 2 SATA power connectors to power the entire system.

• From the system's perspective, each hard drive appears as if it is directly connected to the controller/board, simplifying hardware or software RAID.
