Qqu Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I have searched for this on the forums and didn't see a thread asking this question so I apologize if this has been answered b4. I have an 800D and a WD VelociRaptor SATA 3 drive. At that time, sata 3 wasnt a consideration as the mobo I chose, evga classified e760 didn't support sata3 however; due to 3 GTX 480s repeatedly melting my 24-pin connector on my PSU, EVGA has decided to "upgrade" me to the Classified 3 which is due out tomorrow. This board supports the sata 3 so I was curious if I could use the hot swap bays with the sata back plates and get the sata3 performance?? and why are some mfgs names replaced with ******** in this forums? I dont understand the reason for that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlawlessSoul Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Afaik, the original backplane is SATA2 only, they are currently working on the SATA3 one and will likely offer it in the Corsair store seperately and then ship it with the new releases of the cases.

Qqu Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hmmm, that sounds great if it is not too expensive. I suppose I could just hook up everything to the sata3 controller (I am assuming it is backward compatable) and just replace the backplane when it comes out. I guess we need sata3 cables too :( always something!!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlawlessSoul, How do you know this information? Do you have something in writing from Corsair that confirms this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlawlessSoul Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 FlawlessSoul, How do you know this information? Do you have something in writing from Corsair that confirms this? http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showpost.php?p=455872&postcount=6 I'm the PM for Cases & Cooling products. Thanks for your feedback. I won't address your concerns point-by-point here, but suffice to say a lot of your feedback is very well thought out and exceptionally detailed. The 800D was our very first case - and to be quite honest there are a few things we could have done better (and will do better on future cases) but some of them aren't fair. For example, while developing the 800D the SATA 6Gb/s backplane designs weren't really available and we didn't require it as there were no drives available in the market. However, we made those backplanes easily replaceable and are looking into a compatibility kit that will be available in the future. Thanks for the feedback, I really do appreciate it.

Qqu Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Any one from corsair have a time frame to when the sata3 compatibility kit may be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Any one from corsair have a time frame to when the sata3 compatibility kit may be available? At this time no, we still don't have an accurate ETA. We'll announce it when we do. Sorry for the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamokazi Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I would double check what board EVGA is sending you. They haven't gone through the official announcement for the Classified 3 yet, just dropped some teasers around the forums. Usually there is about a month lapse between when they announce the board and when they have it available. What really concerns me is the cheaper SLI3 board, which is a LE replacement, should be available any day now...I really hope they wouldn't attempt to send you that instead of the classy. Also, FWIW, SATA3 backplanes have been discussed many times on this board, so you obviously didn't search very well :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was offered the E762 but that wouldn't fit in the 800D :roll: however; I am certain of the board I am receiving. and as for the search... it was quick!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x509 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showpost.php?p=455872&postcount=6 That quote of yours is vendor-speak for, "No commitments yet!" Just observing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlawlessSoul Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 That quote of yours is vendor-speak for, "No commitments yet!" Just observing. As does what I said originally. I'm less critical of the lack of confirmation, however. If Corsair never offer a SATA3 backplane, no doubt another manufacturer will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 18, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 18, 2010 You can either remove one of the backplane circuit boards and plug the SSDs directly into the motherboard, or you can mount them in the lower hard drive cage in the bottom front of the case, but you may need a 3.5in to 2.5in bracket for it to mount securely.

hellhound604 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 the easiest mounting place I have found for my 3 Corsair SSD's was to stick them with double sided tape at the back of the motherboard tray, no adapter trays needed ;) (no space in the bottom of my 800D due to my second internal radiator) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob2701 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Is there any update on when Corsair will release the updated backplane for the hot swap cage?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TouchyFeely Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Agreed I would also like to know if there is an update on this backplane situation... And without specualtion, is Corsair even thinking about updating the backplane? I mean if not you guys should definatley know, to be honest I rather know now that Corsair has moved on to new frontiers then to find out another 10 months from now Corsair NEVER even intended too update the backplane.
