Trayless 3.5-inch hot-swap rack

The iStarUSA BPN-DE350HD-RED converts three 5.25-inch bays into five trayless 3.5-inch hot-swap slots. It supports SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III hard drives at up to 12Gb/s transfer rate. An 80mm cooling fan and aluminium construction manage thermals for heavy-duty server use.

Suits administrators who need dense 3.5-inch storage

This unit fits builders populating multiple 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives in a 5.25-inch footprint with key-lock security. It does not serve users requiring tool-less trays, 2.5-inch drive support, or drive types beyond 3.5-inch SAS and SATA interfaces.

12Gb/s SAS and SATA interface

The backplane delivers up to 12Gb/s throughput for compatible 3.5-inch drives. RAID configuration requires an additional controller. Maximum drive capacity tested is 14TB per bay.

Questions about this item

Does the rack require a separate RAID controller card to enable RAID across the five 3.5" bays?

Yes, the unit supports hot-swap and RAID configuration but needs an additional RAID controller to manage the array.

Will my existing SAS I and SATA II drives work in the 12Gb/s backplane without speed negotiation issues?

The backplane accepts SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III drives, so older generations will operate at their native link speeds.

Which LED colours confirm that power is applied and a drive is actively being accessed?

A blue LED shows power-on status while a purple LED flashes during drive access activity.
