Hot-swap rack for server bays
The iStarUSA T-7M1HD-BLUE fits a single 5.25 inch bay and accepts one 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch drive. It supports SAS I, II and III as well as SATA I, II and III interfaces. The tray is coloured blue for quick visual identification in dense chassis.
Aluminium tray and blower fan
The removable tray and main chassis are built from aluminium to conduct heat away from the drive. An 80 mm blower fan forces air directly over the installed device. A power on/off button on the front lets you spin a drive down before removal without opening the case.
Cableless backplane with activity LEDs
The backplane uses a point-to-point design that removes master/slave jumpers and enables true plug-and-play hot-swapping. Front-mounted LEDs show power status and drive activity at a glance. The unit is rated for transfer rates up to 12 Gb/s and accommodates drives up to 14 TB capacity.

Questions about this item
Does the 80mm blower fan need periodic cleaning or replacement?
The 80mm blower fan is the only moving part; keeping its intake clear of dust maintains airflow through the aluminum chassis.
Will the 12Gb/s interface or the single 80mm fan become the bottleneck during continuous transfers?
Sustained throughput is limited by the drive's own sequential speed; the 12Gb/s backplane and point-to-point wiring add no overhead.
How much noise and heat does the 80mm fan produce when the rack runs all day?
The 80mm blower moves air directly across the drive and aluminum body, so noise and heat scale with the fan speed and drive load.
