3U rackmount with 10 hot-swap bays

The iStarUSA D-3100HN is a 3U rackmount server chassis built around ten trayless 3.5-inch hot-swap drive bays and one internal 3.5-inch bay. It accepts ATX and microATX motherboards up to 12 by 9.6 inches and includes four expansion slots. Two 80mm fans and front USB 3.0 ports complete the core feature set for storage-focused deployments.

Storage servers needing high bay density

This chassis suits builders who need many 3.5-inch drives in a compact 3U envelope and value trayless hot-swap convenience. It is not for systems that require more than four expansion slots or motherboards larger than the stated ATX and microATX dimensions. Buyers needing 5.25-inch optical bays or 2.5-inch-only drive configurations should consider other form factors.

Ten trayless 3.5-inch hot-swap bays

The defining specification is the ten front-accessible 3.5-inch bays that support SAS I/II and SATA I/II/III drives at up to 6.0 Gb/s without trays. This bay count and trayless mechanism determine whether the chassis matches a given storage capacity and serviceability requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the chassis come with drive trays or do I need to buy them separately?

The ten 3.5" bays are trayless, so no separate trays are required for hot-swap drives.

Which drive interface should I choose for the ten hot-swap bays, SAS or SATA?

The backplane accepts 3.5" SAS I/II and SATA I/II/III drives, so either interface works; pick SAS for dual-port redundancy or SATA for lower cost.

What does the 6.0 Gb/s rating mean for drive performance in this chassis?

It indicates the backplane supports SATA III speeds, so a 6 Gb/s drive will run at its full native transfer rate.
