Hard Drive Backplane

The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power and drive ID. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security. The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the drives. The backplane is already preconfigured, so there are no jumpers or switches present on it.
