Single-bay hot-swap rack

The iStarUSA T-7M1-SA-BLACK fits one 5.25-inch front bay and accepts a single 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drive. It connects without cables and supports hot-swapping with a 6.0 Gbps transfer rate. An 80 mm blower fan and aluminium chassis provide active cooling for the installed drive.

Suited for single-drive hot-swap needs

This rack serves administrators who want tool-less drive changes in a server or workstation with a free 5.25-inch opening. It is not intended for builders who require multiple simultaneous hot-swap bays or internal 3.5-inch mounting without a front bay.

6.0 Gbps SATA SAS interface

The backplane delivers up to 6.0 Gbps across both SATA and SAS I, II and III protocols. That ceiling determines whether the rack can saturate modern mechanical drives or becomes the bottleneck for faster SSDs.

  • Keep drives cool under load with the built-in 80 mm blower fan

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?

The rack includes an 80 mm blower fan, aluminium handle, power/activity LEDs and a power on/off button. You must provide the 3.5" or 2.5" SATA/SAS drive and a 5.25" front bay in your chassis.

Which drive sizes and interfaces does this model accept?

It supports a single 3.5" or 2.5" drive using SAS I/II or SATA I/II/III, with transfer rates up to 6.0 Gbps and compatibility for 4 TB drives.

What does the 6.0 Gbps figure mean when the rack is installed?

The 6.0 Gbps rating is the maximum SATA III/SAS II interface speed; actual throughput depends on the installed drive and host controller.
