This box has a 3 bay Sata rack. Please describe in detail the meaning of:
1: This box
This box is a normal PC. AM4 based MB
2: 3 bay SATA rack
It is a 3 bay Sata rack. It is a self contained box that is installed in the PC that allows 3 removable Sata disks. Power and sata cables from the MB plug into the rear of it. There is a fan also. Each bay has a power switch and there is a reset button that resets the devices.
3: how "this box" and "rack" are physically related/connected
Sata cables connect the MB to the Sata rack.
IOW, is this a typical PC containing 3 places to install SATA disks?
Basically, yes.
Or is/are it/they something(s) else?
No.
Does each disk separately connect to one motherboard SATA port?
Yes but not directly. See above and below. Is there any USB involvement with any HDD or SSD?
No USB involved. It is something similar to this but a different MFGR. I would have to open up the PC to find the MFGR. https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rsv-sata-cage-34-hard-disk-drive-cage/p/N82E16816132037?item=N82E16816132037&source=region&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords-pc&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-pc-_-pla-_-server+-+accessories-_-N82E16816132037&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItKK5s5GK7AIVR-DICh0QwwVvEAQYAiABEgINkPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
