From the project

A DIY 9-Bay NAS Backplane for an ITX NAS

This backplane is designed for connectivity for up to 8 SATA 3.0 storage drives connected to a PCIE HBA, as well as one slot for a SATA 3.0 boot drive connected to a motherboard SATA header. This board was specifically designed to be used in a Fractal Terra with an HDPLEX 250w GaN PSU, but should work for any small form factor NAS.

Dimensions: 115mmx58mm Power Connector: 4-pin peripheral Supply Voltage: 5v Hot Swap: Hardware Supported (HBA must also support)
