CHIEFTEC CMR-625 5.25" to 2.5" Hot-Swap Mobile Rack, 6-Bay, SATA 6 Gb/s, Black

The CHIEFTEC CMR-625 is an internal SATA backplane designed to house up to six 2.5\" hard drives or solid-state drives within a single 5.25\" drive bay. This accessory expands storage capacity for workstations or servers where chassis space is limited, using a full metal construction for durability in professional environments. It enables high-density storage integration without requiring specialized host adapters or external enclosures. This backplane is specifically designed for system builders and IT administrators who require additional storage expansion within a standard desktop or rackmount chassis footprint.

This backplane features hot-swap capability, which allows for the replacement of drives while the system remains operational. To maintain operating temperatures for the installed media, the unit includes active cooling components at the rear of the drive cage. Security is managed through individual key locks for each drive tray to prevent unauthorized removal or tampering in shared environments. The front panel includes dedicated indicators that provide visual confirmation of power status and individual drive activity during data transfer processes.
