5.25-inch hot-swap rack for SAS and SATA drives
The iStarUSA T-7M1HD-BLACK fits a single 5.25-inch bay and accepts one 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drive. It supports SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III interfaces with a 12Gb/s transfer rate. The tray is built from aluminium for the handle and main chassis. A power on/off button and cableless plug-and-play connection simplify installation.
12Gb/s interface limited by drive and controller
The rack passes through the native speed of the installed SAS or SATA drive up to 12Gb/s. Actual throughput depends on the drive generation and the host controller capability. No master/slave configuration is required because each bay operates point-to-point. Drives up to 14TB capacity are compatible with the mechanical design.
Aluminium body with 80mm blower fan for cooling
The aluminium construction acts as a heatsink while an 80mm blower fan forces air across the drive. Power and activity LEDs on the front panel give immediate status feedback. The unit measures 1.65 by 5.75 by 7.32 inches and is RoHS compliant. It suits servers needing tool-less drive swaps but not builds requiring multiple simultaneous bays.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch drive bay version for this rack?
The rack fits both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch SAS or SATA drives in the same 3.5 inch hot-swap bay, so no separate version choice is needed.
What does the 12Gb/s transfer rate mean once the rack is installed in a server?
It supports SAS III and SATA III drives at up to 12Gb/s, limited by the host controller and drive capabilities.
Which interface standard does the backplane use and what speed does it cap at?
The backplane uses SAS and SATA point-to-point connections, capping at 12Gb/s for SAS III and SATA III drives.
