From the project
SATA Backplane PCB for 2 disk with 3.5mm spaced
This backplane is used to rotate the SATA data connector to 90° in order to help mouting hard drive into Fractal Node 804.
The hard drives have 3.5mm between them.
The bom can be found in the docs directory.
The V1.0 has been produced by JLCPCB, tested and working very well.
