Custom 4x SATA Backplane for home-nas and servers

If you are interested in the design process behind this pcb, take a look at this accompanying blog post.

Why use a backplane

Using a backplane allows multiple disks to be connected to a single power-supply cable. For this a 4-pin molex connector is used as it can sustain the spinup current of 4 disks.
