Inter-Tech IPC Backplane BP-4724-NVMe 12-Bay 2.5 inch SAS/SATA/NVMe Hot-Swap Backplane

Drive backplane module engineered for high-density storage servers, supporting up to 12 hot-swappable 2.5-inch drives across SAS, SATA, and NVMe interfaces. This passive backplane delivers simultaneous connectivity for mixed drive environments, making it a versatile backbone for demanding data centers and enterprise chassis.

Advantages

The BP-4724-NVMe offers a unified solution for modern storage needs. With three SFF-8643 host connectors handling both SAS/SATA and NVMe signals, it simplifies cabling while maintaining full bandwidth: up to 12 Gbps for SAS, 6 Gbps for SATA, and 32 Gbps per NVMe drive via PCIe 3.0 x4. Dual SATA power connectors ensure stable power delivery to all bays, and per-drive LED indicators provide clear status at a glance. Hot-swap support minimizes downtime during drive replacement, and the passive design reduces points of failure compared to active backplanes.
