Review: ５インチベイ２つでHDDを３つ使えます。ベイを３つ占有するタイプは豊富ですが２つのタイプはあまりなく、この製品は貴重です。 ホットスワップに関して、この製品を付けた後にBIOS画面でホットスワップの設定をいじる必要があります。 私の場合はホットプラグ(hot plug)をONにしたらホットスワップが利用可能になりました。 ASUSのマザボですが他社のマザボにも似たような設定はあるはずです。SATAの設定をご覧ください。 ※マザーボードのSATA端子に直接接続されているSATA端末に対しての設定なので、増設したSATA端子に関してはホットスワップできないかもしれないです(未検証)。
Review: 前後長めなので注意です。 手持ちのケースに取り付けたところ、後部のファンが、マザーの24ピンコネクタに当たってしまいました(涙) ちょっと前に出して固定することになり、ケースから飛び出して、不恰好になりました。 5インチベイの多いケースが希少な中、ケース選びが意外に大変です。

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I turn each hard drive off or are they all on one switch?**
A: each one has a power switch. 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.
