Server hot-swap rack for 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives
The iStarUSA T-7M1HD-RED fits a single 5.25 inch bay and accepts one 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch SAS or SATA drive. It targets administrators who need quick drive changes without shutting down the server. The tray is finished in red aluminium for easy identification in dense racks.
Tool-free installation with cableless backplane
Sliding the tray into the bay connects power and data through a cableless backplane, so no internal cabling is required. The point-to-point design removes master and slave configuration steps. The only common issue is ensuring the 80 mm blower fan aligns with chassis airflow to avoid recirculation.
Sustained 12 Gb/s throughput with active cooling
Under continuous load the aluminium chassis and 80 mm blower fan keep drive temperatures stable while maintaining up to 12 Gb/s transfer rates. Power and activity LEDs give immediate visual status during long rebuilds or backups. The unit supports drives up to 14 TB capacity without thermal throttling.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the rack is transferring data at the rated 12Gb/s after installation?
The front panel shows a power LED and a drive-activity LED; sustained blinking on the activity light during large file copies indicates the SAS or SATA link is active at up to 12Gb/s.
What comes in the box and what must I supply myself?
The package includes the aluminum hot-swap rack with its built-in 80 mm blower fan and red tray; you must provide a 5.25" bay, a SAS or SATA host cable, and the 2.5" or 3.5" drive.
Which drive height should I choose for a 14TB drive?
A 14TB drive fits the 3.5" hot-swap bay; the 2.5" position is for smaller SSDs or laptop drives, so select the 3.5" slot for that capacity.
