Along with the HDD pad, you get a power cable that hooks up to a molex four pin connector, a small collection of screws and bits, a couple of different size PCI brackets and an eSATA to SATA connector.

I actually have almost one hundred SAS/SATA drives which I have to backup or blank … In my point of view the SD01 fits perfectly for this task, and it’s hundred times cheeper than any hard drives duplicator/eraser supporting SAS2 interface.
