Four-bay 12Gb/s hot-swap rack
The iStarUSA BPN-DE340HD-BLACK fits three 5.25-inch bays and provides four trayless 3.5-inch hot-swap slots. It accepts SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III drives and delivers up to 12Gb/s transfer rates. An 80mm fan and all-aluminium construction handle cooling for heavy-duty use.
Suits servers needing dense 3.5-inch storage.
This unit is built for administrators who want four 3.5-inch drives in a compact front-loading module with key-lock security and LED status indicators. It does not support 2.5-inch drives or any form factor other than the specified 3.5-inch SAS and SATA types. Builders needing a different drive size should look elsewhere.
12Gb/s SAS and SATA interface determines
The backplane operates at up to 12Gb/s and works with SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III hard drives. Your controller or backplane must provide matching SAS or SATA signalling to reach that speed. Without a compatible 12Gb/s host connection the drives will fall back to lower rates.

Questions about this item
Does the 12Gb/s SAS interface actually deliver 12Gb/s per drive in this rack?
The backplane supports SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III at up to 12Gb/s per bay, so each 3.5″ drive can run at its native link speed.
Will this unit fit in a standard three-bay 5.25″ opening?
Yes, it occupies exactly three 5.25″ half-height bays and measures 4.92″ wide × 5.71″ high × 7.79″ deep.
How do I install the drives without trays, and what step is often missed?
Slide each 3.5″ drive straight into the trayless slot until the connector seats, then lock the front bezel with the key — forgetting to lock it is the common mistake.
