Trayless 3.5-inch hot-swap rack for 5.25-inch bays

The iStarUSA BPN-DE110HD-BLACK converts a single 5.25-inch drive bay into a trayless 3.5-inch hot-swap slot. It accepts SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III hard drives and supports transfer rates up to 12Gb/s. The design suits servers or workstations that need quick drive changes without tools.

Aluminium chassis acts as a heat sink

An integrative aluminium frame draws heat away from the drive during normal operation. No fan is included, so airflow depends on the host chassis. Power draw is limited to the drive itself and the blue power and purple access LEDs.

Aluminium bezel with key lock and screw-less

The front bezel, handle and main chassis are all aluminium with a black finish. A metal key lock secures the drive bay against unauthorised removal. Drives up to 14TB are compatible and mount without trays or screws for day-to-day swaps.

Questions about this item

How is the iStarUSA BPN-DE110HD-BLACK installed in a 5.25" bay and what step is often missed?

Slide the aluminum chassis into the 5.25" bay, secure it with the mounting screws on both sides, then insert the 3.5" drive until it clicks into the backplane connector; the step often missed is fully tightening the bay screws before hot-swapping drives.

What maintenance or replacement will the iStarUSA BPN-DE110HD-BLACK need over time?

The tray-less mechanism has no consumable parts; only the key lock or LED indicators may eventually require replacement if physically damaged.

What limit appears first on the iStarUSA BPN-DE110HD-BLACK during sustained 12Gb/s transfers?

The integrative aluminum chassis acts as a heatsink; under continuous 12Gb/s SAS or SATA workloads the drive temperature limit is reached before the backplane bandwidth limit.
