Hot-swap cage for 3.5-inch drives

The iStarUSA BPN-DE110SS-BLUE converts a single 5.25-inch bay into a hot-swap slot for one 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive. Its tray-less, screw-less mechanism lets administrators insert or remove drives without tools. A metal key lock secures the drive and prevents unauthorised access. Blue and purple LEDs show power status and drive activity at a glance.

Replaces fixed internal mounting

This cage replaces a standard fixed drive cage or direct chassis mount when quick drive changes are required. The upgrade is worth it for servers or workstations that need to swap storage without powering down or opening the case. It supports SATA I, II, III and SAS I, II interfaces at up to 6.0 Gbps. Drives up to 12 TB are compatible with the current specification.

Aluminium frame dissipates heat under load

The integrative aluminium design acts as a heatsink, drawing heat away from the drive during sustained read and write operations. An optional 40 mm fan can be added for additional airflow in high-density configurations. The lightweight aluminium construction keeps the overall system weight low while maintaining structural rigidity. RoHS compliance confirms the materials meet environmental standards.

Questions about this item

What size drive bay does the BPN-DE110SS-BLUE need to fit?

It mounts in a single 5.25in front bay and accepts one 3.5in SATA or SAS drive.

How is the drive installed, and what step is often missed?

Slide the 3.5in drive straight into the tray-less slot until it clicks; the key lock must then be turned to secure the drive and complete the electrical connection.

What maintenance or replacement will the cage need later?

The aluminum frame is passive; only the optional 40mm cooling fan may require cleaning or replacement over time.
