3×5.25″ bay converter with five hot-swap trays

The iStarUSA BPN-DE350HD-SILVER fits three standard 5.25″ front-panel openings and presents five 3.5″ hot-swap drive bays. It accepts SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III hard drives with a transfer rate up to 12Gb/s. An aluminium frame, front bezel and handle provide structural rigidity and act as a heatsink. A single 80 mm fan and removable fan cover handle airflow and maintenance.

Server builders adding dense 3.5″ storage to 5.25″

This rack suits administrators who need five hot-swap 3.5″ drives behind a locked silver front bezel with blue power and purple access LEDs. It supports drives up to 14TB and works with hardware RAID controllers for array configurations. Builders requiring more than five hot-swap bays or a different drive form factor must look elsewhere.

12Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane interface

The backplane delivers up to 12Gb/s per drive slot for SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III devices. This single specification determines whether the rack can saturate modern enterprise drives and controller ports. Verify that your host bus adapter or RAID controller matches this interface and bandwidth before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 80mm fan produce when the rack runs all day?

The single 80mm fan draws air through the aluminum chassis, which acts as a heat sink; the removable fan cover allows cleaning to maintain airflow and keep drive temperatures stable during continuous operation.

What host interface and controller must the system already provide for the five drive bays to work?

The backplane passes SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III signals directly, so the host needs a compatible SAS or SATA HBA or RAID controller with enough ports for five 3.5-inch drives.

Will 14TB drives work in this rack alongside older 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the tray-less bays accept any 3.5-inch SAS I/II/III or SATA I/II/III drive up to 14TB, so newer high-capacity drives and older drives can be mixed in the same unit.
