Chenbro FIX Käfig SR107+ 4fach

Transform three 5.25-inch bays into four hot-swappable 3.5-inch drive slots with a 6 Gbps SAS/SATA backplane and a single Mini-SAS SFF-8087 host connection.

Overview

The Chenbro 384-10701-2101A0 is a robust drive cage engineered for Chenbro SR107, SR108, and SR109 series chassis, yet compatible with any case offering three contiguous 5.25-inch external bays. It accommodates up to four 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs, each housed in an individual hot-swap tray with power and activity LEDs. The integrated backplane consolidates data and power connections, reducing cable clutter while supporting SATA III and SAS II transfer rates up to 6 Gbps. A single SFF-8087 Mini-SAS port links all four drives to a compatible RAID controller or HBA, while two 4-pin Molex connectors provide reliable power delivery. An 80mm fan mount behind the drive bays ensures adequate airflow for sustained operation, though the fan itself is sold separately.
