help StarTech DRW115SATBK FAQ

Is the StarTech DRW115SATBK a power supply or a drive bay?

It is a hot-swap mobile rack and removable drive drawer, not a power supply unit. The rack fits one 3.5-inch SATA drive into a front-accessible 5.25-inch computer bay. [StarTech product page](https://www.startech.com/en-jp/hdd/drw115satbk)

Which SATA drives and speeds does the DRW115SATBK support?

StarTech specifies support for 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and SATA revisions I, II, and III. Those correspond to 1.5, 3.0, and 6.0 gigabits per second link speeds. [StarTech datasheet](https://media.startech.com/cms/pdfs/drw115satbk_datasheet.pdf)

Does hot swapping work automatically with the DRW115SATBK?

The rack supports hot swapping, but the motherboard or SATA controller must have AHCI and hot swapping enabled. StarTech says those settings are normally controlled in the BIOS or UEFI. [StarTech FAQ](https://www.startech.com/en-jp/hdd/drw115satbk)

What physical features make the DRW115SATBK suitable for repeated drive changes?

It has an aluminum caddy, key lock, rubber shock absorbers, two front-mounted ball-bearing fans, and a stated rating of more than 7,000 insertions. StarTech lists the product as discontinued and gives it a two-year warranty. [StarTech product page](https://www.startech.com/en-jp/hdd/drw115satbk)
