Three 5.25" bays to five 3.5" hot-swap cage

The iStarUSA BPN-DE350SS-RED converts three 5.25" drive bays into five trayless 3.5" hot-swap slots. It accepts SAS I/II and SATA I/II/III hard drives with a 6.0 Gb/s interface. An 80 mm fan and aluminium frame provide active cooling for sustained operation.

Suited for dense SAS or SATA storage arrays

This cage fits servers or workstations that need five 3.5" drives in a three-bay footprint with hot-swap access and key-lock security. It is not for systems that lack three adjacent 5.25" bays, or for installations requiring 2.5" drive support.

6.0 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane

The backplane delivers up to 6.0 Gb/s per drive bay, matching the speed of modern SAS and SATA III drives. This single spec determines whether your drives will run at their rated throughput.

Questions about this item

How loud is the 80mm fan when the cage runs all day?

The 80mm fan provides continuous airflow to keep five 3.5" drives cool during extended operation, and the removable fan cover allows easy cleaning to maintain quiet performance.

What host connection does the cage need for the 6.0 Gb/s rate?

A backplane or controller with SAS or SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports is required; the cage passes the signal through to each of the five hot-swap bays.

Will my SAS I drives work in the same cage as SATA III drives?

Yes, the cage supports SAS I/II and SATA I/II/III simultaneously across its five 3.5" hot-swap slots.
