Not sure if this needed to go here or in the General Hardware forum.

I am looking for an SATA backplane. Not a cage type 4 or 5 drive setup. I am looking for one small PC board that has power and data on the board, so basically it snaps directly on the back of the hard drive. I have seen them in cases, but I cannot find them, possibly because I have no idea what they are actually called.

Can anyone help out with this?
 
Most of the time they come with the case and are not sold separately. Maybe you can buy one as a spare part from a case manufacturer? Are you looking for a backplane that does multiple drives, or just a single drive? Perhaps some more information about how you intend to use the backplane would get you some better suggestions.
 
You know I never even thought about buying one and tearing the guts out, good call. I am trying to put together a list of parts for a custom built case, and I am building my own drive bay, I wanted it to be a modular setup where I could drop a drive in and pull it out as needed without requiring a cage.
