About This Product
Overview
The HPE 8-Bay SFF SAS SATA Backplane Board 780428-001 is an OEM server part built for use in compatible HPE Gen9 and Gen10 platforms. Designed to sit behind an 8SFF drive cage, it provides a practical connection point for 2.5-inch SAS and SATA drives in a compact small form factor layout. This makes it a useful replacement or expansion component for environments that rely on HPE server hardware and need a matching backplane assembly. Because it is a server backplane board rather than a complete storage system, it is intended to integrate into the existing chassis design and support the drive infrastructure already in place. For IT teams maintaining HPE systems, having the correct backplane part number helps ensure the drive cage and storage connections remain aligned with the original server configuration.
Performance & Scalability
With support for 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA interfaces, this backplane is suited to server storage setups that require dependable drive connectivity across multiple bays. The 8-bay hot plug design supports efficient drive access within the chassis, which is valuable when maintaining or servicing systems that need quick replacement of individual drives. In compatible HPE servers, the backplane helps preserve the intended storage architecture and supports the use of SAS or SATA drives depending on the system configuration. For organizations managing mixed storage needs, the ability to work with both interface types adds flexibility while keeping the hardware footprint compact. As a server part, it is designed to support stable operation within the chassis and to integrate cleanly with the drive cage and server platform.
Storage Flexibility
This HPE backplane supports 2.5-inch SAS and SATA drives, giving administrators flexibility when configuring storage in compatible servers. The 8-bay layout is useful for systems that need multiple small form factor drives without moving to a larger chassis design. Because it mounts behind an 8SFF drive cage, it is intended to work as part of the server’s internal storage path rather than as a standalone device. That makes it a practical option for replacing a missing or failed backplane in an existing HPE system, or for restoring the original drive bay functionality in a refurbished server build. The combination of SAS and SATA support allows the backplane to fit a range of storage use cases while keeping the hardware specific to the supported HPE platform.
Why Choose This Product?
Choosing the HPE 780428-001 backplane board is a straightforward way to maintain compatibility with supported HPE Gen9 and Gen10 servers. It is an OEM HPE server backplane board, which is important when matching the original chassis design and drive cage layout. For IT hardware buyers, the correct part number can simplify replacement planning and reduce uncertainty when sourcing server parts. This unit is refurbished and tested, making it a sensible choice for organizations looking to restore or maintain server storage functionality with a genuine HPE component. If you need an 8-bay SFF backplane for a compatible HPE server, this part offers the right form factor, interface support, and platform fit for the job.

Why Buy a Refurbished Products?
Refurbished enterprise servers offer enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of the new price.
Up to 70% Cost Savings
Refurbished R650xs units deliver identical hardware capability to new, at significantly lower upfront cost — freeing budget for CPUs, RAM, and storage.
Fully Tested & Verified
Every unit undergoes comprehensive hardware diagnostics before dispatch. POST tests, burn-in, memory checks, and power supply verification are standard.
Immediate Availability
Unlike new enterprise servers with lead times of weeks or months, refurbished stock is ready to ship within 24 hours of ordering.
Same Performance
The hardware inside the R650xs performs identically whether purchased new or refurbished. The 3rd Gen Xeon platform, PCIe Gen4, and iDRAC9 are unchanged.
