Hey all,

I was just wondering if anyone knows if the backplane for the 4 hot swap bays in this case will support SAS drives. I have a SAS HBA, i just cant find any info on whether or not the backplane supports SATA/SAS or only SATA.

Ive got a SAS HBA and 4 SAS drives in a chenbro mini itx case at the moment, its backplane supports SAS/SATA, but the airflow is totally crap and im worried i might burn out the HBA so id look to move it to my XL which has much better airflow.

Thanks in advance, and Aloha.

It won't support sas devices, the connector on the side facing the device has plastic between power and data ports:


What you need for sas:

Thanks so much for the reply. I’ll have to open up my case and see what the drive side port looks like. My case isn’t a lancool II.

At least now I know what to look for. Thanks.
