The mobile rack is fully compatible with RAID installations to ensure maximum performance and versatility, for enhanced storage applications. It features a front panel ball-bearing fan with aluminum construction and 25,000+ insertion rating. To maximize the performance and utilize the full speed potential of your SATA III hard drives, the HDD backplane supports SATA III for transfer speeds up to 6 Gb/s, when paired with a compatible controller.
