Tray-less 5.25" bay hot-swap rack

The iStarUSA BPN-DE110SS-BLACK converts a single 5.25" drive bay into a tray-less hot-swap slot for one 3.5" SATA or SAS hard drive. It accepts SAS I/II and SATA I/II/III drives with a data transfer rate up to 6.0 Gb/s. The aluminium frame and front bezel provide structural rigidity and act as a heat sink. A metal key lock secures the drive against unauthorised removal.

Tool-free drive insertion with key lock

Drives slide directly into the cage without trays or screws, making swaps fast during maintenance windows. The key lock engages automatically when the drive is fully seated, preventing accidental ejection. Blue and purple LEDs show power status and drive activity at a glance. A 40 mm fan mount is available for additional airflow if the chassis layout permits.

Aluminium body sustains thermal performance

The integrative aluminium construction draws heat away from the drive during continuous read and write workloads. Without the optional 40 mm fan, temperatures rise steadily under sustained load, so active cooling is advisable for high-duty cycles. The SATA power connector ensures broad compatibility with standard power supplies. Drives up to 12 TB are supported for long-term storage density.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the cage is operating correctly after installation?

The front LEDs show blue when power is on and purple during drive activity, so both lights behaving as described means the unit is working.

What ships with the BPN-DE110SS-BLACK and what must I source separately?

The tray-less hot-swap cage with its aluminum frame, front bezel and metal key lock are included; you must supply a compatible 3.5" SATA or SAS drive and a standard SATA power cable from your PSU.

Which drive capacity should I select for this hot-swap rack?

The rack supports drives up to 12 TB, so choose any 3.5" SATA or SAS drive at or below that capacity.
