2×5.25″ rack for three 3.5″ drives
The iStarUSA BPN-DE230P-BLACK fits two standard 5.25″ bays and provides three hot-swap trays for 3.5″ SAS or SATA hard drives. It is built for server administrators who need dense, front-accessible storage in a 2U space. The aluminium chassis and bezel give a rigid, professional feel.
12 Gb/s SAS and SATA interface support
Each tray connects to the backplane at up to 12 Gb/s, matching SAS I, II, III and SATA I, II, III drives. This bandwidth ceiling is the single figure that decides whether the rack can feed your controller without bottleneck. Drives larger than 14 TB are not validated for this unit.
Aluminium frame acts as a heatsink under load
The integrative aluminium design spreads drive heat across the chassis while a 70 mm fan with speed control maintains airflow. During sustained RAID rebuilds or sequential workloads the metal body keeps temperatures steadier than plastic alternatives. Independent power switches let you spin down single drives without interrupting the array.

Questions about this item
What does the 12Gb/s rating deliver when three drives are installed?
Each 3.5″ SAS or SATA bay can run at its full 12Gb/s link speed, so all three drives operate at native bandwidth simultaneously.
Which drive interfaces are supported and what limits the practical speed?
The rack accepts SAS I, II, III and SATA I, II, III drives; the backplane itself caps at 12Gb/s per bay.
What chassis space and mounting does the unit require?
It fits two standard 5.25″ bays and measures 5.71″ wide × 3.35″ high × 7.64″ deep with an aluminum frame and key lock.
