- Lockable drive doors

The HSB225SATBK 3.5in SATA Mobile Rack lets you install two 2.5in SATA (SATA, SATA II, SATA III-6Gbps) hard drives (HDD) or solid state drives (SSD) into an available/unused 3.5in floppy drive bay.
The mobile rack delivers quick and easy access to hard drive contents, using a convenient "no mounting required/easy eject" feature which eliminates the need for the drives to be installed in a tray - a time-saving solution for instant drive removals and insertions, as part of a system building process or integration into rackmount systems or industrial environments.
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.
For added safety, the mobile rack is made from UL94 V-0 rated plastics and equipped with locking bay doors to help prevent accidental or unauthorized removal of the swappable hard drives. Also a perfect addition for operating system image deployment and any task that requires being able to 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.
Applications
- Mass system builds/deployment, where fast and efficient drive imaging is needed, with minimal downtime
- Regular testing or benchmarking of different hard drives
The StarTech.com Advantage
- Enables two 2.5in HDD/SSD to be installed into any free 3.5in drive bay without need of tray, caddy or carrier
- Lockable drive doors add peace of mind and drive security

Troubleshooting
When you troubleshoot issues with a hard drive rack, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
- SATA and SAS cables
- Hard drives
- Hard drive rack
To test your setup components, try the following:
- Use the cables, hard drives, and hard drive rack in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
- Use a different cable, hard drive, and hard drive rack in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test the hard drive and hard drive rack, it is recommended that you do the following:
- To check Disk Management, press the Windows key + R, type diskmgmt.msc, and press Enter. Check to see if your hard drive is listed.
- If the hard drive is listed with unallocated space, it needs to be formatted. Right-click unallocated and click New Simple Volume. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reformatting.
Note: Formatting a hard drive erases all of the data on it. Make sure that you back up all of your data before you reformat the hard drive.
- If the hard drive is listed as healthy but does not have a drive letter assigned to it, for example, C:, right-click healthy and click Change Drive Letter and Paths. Click Add, assign a drive letter, and click OK.
Note: A formatted hard drive will not show up in Computer or My Computer until it has a drive letter assigned to it.
Yes, this mobile rack does support hot-swapping of SATA drives. To use this feature, it is required that the SATA port is set to Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) mode and hot-swapping is enabled. On most motherboards, this is performed within the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) or the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). If you are using a SATA controller card, consult the motherboard manufacturer's technical documentation for the correct steps to accomplish this.

Broke attempting to eject SSD
This device is designed for 11mm drives and probably works well with them. However when attempting to put thinner drives in as all modern drives are, the mechanism jams up and drive gets wedged inside. Attempting to remove the drive involves damaging the enclosure ( not the SSD fortunately ) beyond repair. This drive thickness limitation was not made clear in the sales information.
Thank you for your review of HSB225SATBK. We're sorry for it stopped working for you!
HSB225SATBK is designed to work with HDDs and SSDs up to 9.5mm in height, so it's not expected for this size of drive or smaller to damage the enclosure. We recommend reaching out to our Customer Support team at www.startech.com/chat or 1-800-265-1844 for further support.
