Server hot-swap rack for 2.5" drives
The iStarUSA T-G35-HD fits a standard 3.5-inch bay and converts it into a hot-swap tray for one 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive. It is built for servers and storage arrays that need quick drive changes without powering down.
Metal chassis with screw-less mounting
A metal main chassis dissipates heat while the plastic front bezel and stainless-steel handle keep the face clean and durable. The patented screw-less design secures standard 9.5 mm drives, and thumbscrews allow tool-free swaps. A key lock adds physical security and power plus activity LEDs show drive status at a glance.
12 Gb/s interface ceiling
The backplane supports SAS I, II, III and SATA I, II, III at up to 12 Gb/s, so the rack itself will not bottleneck modern spinning disks or SSDs. It accepts only a single 2.5-inch device per unit, so arrays needing multiple hot-swap bays require additional racks. Drives thicker than 9.5 mm or 3.5-inch form factors cannot be mounted in the hot-swap slot.

Questions about this item
Does the 12Gb/s SAS interface cap at 12Gb/s for SATA III drives too?
The rack supports SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III at up to 12Gb/s, so SATA III runs at its native 6Gb/s while SAS III can reach the full 12Gb/s.
What chassis depth and drive thickness does the metal tray require?
It fits a standard 3.5" bay measuring 1.00" x 4.00" x 5.64" and accepts 9.5mm thick 2.5" drives.
How is the drive secured without screws, and what step do people miss?
The patented screw-less tray locks the 2.5" drive by sliding it in until the latch clicks; users often forget to press the latch fully home before closing the door.
