5×3.5″ hot-swap rack

The iStarUSA BPN-DE350HD-BLUE fits three 5.25″ bays and provides five trayless 3.5″ drive slots. It accepts SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III hard drives with a transfer rate up to 12Gb/s. An 80 mm fan and all-aluminium construction keep the drives cool. A key lock and blue front bezel secure the installation.

Server builders adding dense 3.5″ storage

This rack suits administrators who need hot-swap 3.5″ drives in a standard 5.25″ footprint and want SAS or SATA support. Builders requiring 2.5″ drive bays or a different bay count should look elsewhere. The single 80 mm fan may not meet the airflow needs of very high-density deployments.

12Gb/s SAS and SATA interface

The backplane delivers up to 12Gb/s across SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III connections, so the host controller must support that speed to use the full bandwidth. Drives larger than 14TB are not validated for this unit.
