01HARD DRIVES
Silent precision for dense storage arrays
Tucked within the chassis of a server or media centre, this backplane transforms a standard 5.25-inch bay into a high-density storage hub. Its compact footprint allows it to sit unobtrusively in tight spaces, managing multiple drives without crowding the system.
Designed for demanding RAID environments, it supports both SATA and SAS interfaces, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of enterprise-grade drives. The unit is suited for technicians and enthusiasts who require reliable, hot-swappable access to their data.

02MATERIALS
Electropolished aluminium for thermal stability
The chassis relies on substantial aluminium components that have been electropolished, giving the surface a smooth, refined finish while enhancing its ability to dissipate heat. This material choice ensures the enclosure remains cool even under sustained load, protecting the sensitive electronics within the connected drives.
04COOLING
Adjustable fan speed and thermal alerts
An integrated 80 mm fan operates quietly, with its speed easily adjusted to match the system's needs. Should temperatures rise beyond set thresholds of 55, 60, or 65 degrees Celsius, optical and acoustic signals provide immediate feedback, allowing users to intervene before conditions become critical.
FIT
Five drives in a three-bay footprint
By accommodating five 3.5-inch drives within the space of three 5.25-inch bays, this backplane maximises storage density in existing hardware. It is particularly useful for upgrading legacy systems or building compact NAS units where physical space is at a premium but capacity demands are high.
AT A GLANCE
The key points
- Holds five 3.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drives
- Fits standard 3x 5.25-inch drive bays
- Electropolished aluminium chassis dissipates heat
- 80 mm fan runs silently with adjustable modes
- Optical and acoustic signals monitor temperature
For heaviest server duty
These three HDD backplanes are well-proven in extremely hard server duty. Even with highest transfer rates they run very smoothly. That’s why we recommend them for the demanding duty in RAID systems. Accordingly elaborate is the temperature control. The aluminium parts dissipate the heat. The 80-mm fan operates reliably and silently and the operating mode is easily adjusted. If high temperature is detected there are optical and acoustic warning signals. All moving parts are layed out for strongest strain. The trays and their locking mechanism are extremely fitting. They slide without resistance. The aluminium parts are electropolished.
Stress resistant
The IB-56X Series is built for heavy duty. The best available materials were used in this enclosure which makes it the ideal 3.5″ HDD solution for demanding environments. for additional security, a lock was added.
Cool & silent
Thanks to it’s compact size this frame can be installed almost anywhere, even in small media center PCs.
Always up to date
Up to five 3.5″ SATA/SAS HDDs find a home in this backplane. Not even SAS hard disks have to stay out in the cold. Optical and auditory signals alert regarding the HDD and fan state. The temperature alarm signal can be set on three possibilities – 55° C, 60° C, 65° C.
