iStarUSA 5.25" SATA Mobile Rack Red

The iStarUSA T-7M1-SA-RED is a 5.25-inch bay server accessory that accepts a single 2.5 or 3.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drive. Its all-aluminium construction acts as a heatsink while an 80mm blower fan provides active cooling. The tray connects through a cableless SATA backplane and supports hot-swap operation with plug-and-play convenience.

Suits single-drive hot-swap needs.

This unit fits administrators who need one removable drive slot in a standard 5.25-inch bay with LED status indicators and a power button. It does not accommodate more than one drive, so builders requiring multiple simultaneous hot-swap bays or a different form factor should consider other solutions.

Cableless SATA backplane with 6.0Gbps transfer

The specification that determines compatibility is the cableless SATA interface rated for up to 6.0Gbps, which handles SATA I/II/III and SAS I/II drives without master/slave configuration.

Questions about this item

How does the 6.0Gbps transfer rate perform once the rack is installed in a live server?

The rack passes SATA III signals directly to the backplane, so a SATA III drive sustains its rated 6.0Gbps link speed with no master/slave configuration needed.

What SATA and SAS standards does the cableless backplane actually support in daily use?

The backplane accepts SATA I, II and III plus SAS I and II drives, letting any of those standards hot-swap through the same 5.25" slot.

Will this unit fit a standard 5.25" front bay and what drive heights does the tray hold?

It mounts in one 5.25" bay and the tray secures both 2.5" and 3.5" SAS or SATA hard drives.
