2.5" SATA hot-swap rack

The iStarUSA T-C25HD-P is a trayless hot-swap rack that accepts 2.5" SATA I/II/III hard drives or SSDs up to 12.5 mm thick. Its plastic chassis and handle keep cost low while supporting 6.0 Gb/s data rates. The unit is RoHS compliant and built to custom dimensions of .70" x 3.50" x 5.31". It suits server builders who need quick drive changes without trays.

Verify bay clearance and SATA backplane

Before ordering, confirm that your chassis can accommodate the rack's .70" height, 3.50" width and 5.31" depth. The host system must provide a SATA backplane or cabling that matches the drive interface. Ensure the power and data connectors align with the drive position in the bay. Drives thicker than 12.5 mm will not fit the slot.

Plastic tray-less design for daily swaps

The all-plastic construction reduces weight and eliminates metal tray handling during drive swaps. Drives slide directly into the opening, so insertion and removal are fast and tool-free. The plastic handle offers a grip for frequent changes without scratching adjacent components. The rack carries no drive bays of its own, relying on the host enclosure for structural support.

Questions about this item

Does the T-C25HD-P come with any 2.5" SATA drives or mounting screws?

The rack is a trayless plastic carrier that accepts standard 2.5" SATA I/II/III drives up to 12.5 mm thick; drives and any mounting hardware are separate purchases.

I only see one model listed — are there different capacity or size versions of the T-C25HD-P to choose from?

The T-C25HD-P is offered as a single custom-size unit measuring 0.70" x 3.50" x 5.31"; no alternative capacities or form-factor variants are available for this model.

The headline says SATA 6.0 Gb/s — what transfer speed will I actually see once a drive is installed in a server?

The rack supports SATA I, II and III signalling up to 6.0 Gb/s; real-world throughput depends on the drive and controller used.
