Single-Bay Hot-Swap Rack
The iStarUSA BPN-DE110HD-RED converts a 5.25" bay into a trayless 3.5" hot-swap slot with a red aluminium bezel. It accepts SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III drives and supports transfer rates up to 12Gb/s. A key lock secures the drive and LEDs show power and access status.
Server Builders Needing One Removable Drive
Technicians who swap a single 3.5" drive between systems will appreciate the screw-less, tray-free mechanism and the integrated aluminium heat-sink design. The unit fits a standard 5.25" opening and is RoHS compliant. Builders who need multiple simultaneous drive bays should look elsewhere.
12Gb/s SAS and SATA Interface
The backplane delivers up to 12Gb/s bandwidth for both SAS and SATA protocols, so the drive’s native speed is the limiting factor. Compatibility extends to 14TB 3.5" drives, making the interface spec the key figure when matching this rack to your controller and media.

Questions about this item
Does the 12Gb/s SAS interface actually deliver 12Gb/s with a SATA III drive?
SATA III tops out at 6Gb/s, so the rack will only run at 6Gb/s with SATA drives; 12Gb/s requires a SAS III drive and controller.
Will this red front-bezel unit fit my standard 5.25" front-panel bay?
Yes — the chassis measures 1.65" x 5.75" x 7.10" and is designed for a single 5.25" bay.
How do I install a 3.5" drive without trays or screws, and what step do people miss?
Slide the bare drive straight in until the connector seats; the missed step is pushing firmly enough to fully engage the backplane.
