The Supermicro SAS-937 3U 16-Slot 3.5-inch SAS/SATA Hard Drive Backplane is an enterprise storage backplane designed for Supermicro 3U rackmount chassis systems. It provides high-density internal storage connectivity for up to 16 x 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives, making it ideal for server, storage, and data center applications.
This backplane acts as the central interface between the system’s storage controller (HBA/RAID card) and installed drives, ensuring stable and efficient data transfer. It is commonly used in Supermicro SC937-series chassis and JBOD/storage configurations where high-capacity storage expansion is required.
Built for enterprise environments, the SAS-937 backplane supports continuous 24/7 operation and is designed for reliability, airflow efficiency, and scalable storage performance in demanding workloads such as virtualization, backup, and large-scale data storage.
