Hot-swap rack for 2.5" and 3.5" drives
The iStarUSA T-G525-HD fits a standard 5.25" bay and accepts one 3.5" or one 2.5" SAS and SATA drive. A key lock secures the front bezel while thumbscrews allow quick drive changes. The metal chassis and a 30 mm fan provide airflow for continuous operation. RoHS compliance is confirmed.
Capacity and headroom
One drive sits in the hot-swap tray at a time, supporting SAS I, II and III plus SATA I, II and III at up to 12 Gb/s. The screw-less mounting works with standard 3.5" drives; 2.5" units fit the same tray. Builders needing multiple simultaneous drives or higher port counts will need additional bays or a backplane.
Interface practical limits
The 12 Gb/s ceiling matches the fastest SAS III and SATA III devices currently on the market. Cable length, backplane quality and controller firmware can reduce realised throughput below that figure. The rack passes signals through without protocol conversion, so the host controller determines the final link speed.

Questions about this item
Will my existing 2.5" and 3.5" SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III drives fit and run at 12Gb/s in this 5.25" bay?
Yes, the rack accepts both 2.5" and 3.5" SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III drives and supports transfer rates up to 12Gb/s through the hot-swap bay.
How can I confirm the T-G525-HD is operating correctly once installed?
The front panel shows power and HDD activity LEDs; the 30mm cooling fan should spin, and the key lock secures the drive carrier during operation.
What comes in the box and what must I source separately?
The unit includes the metal chassis, plastic front bezel, stainless-steel handle, screw-less 3.5" mounting, thumbscrews and a 30mm fan; you must supply the SAS/SATA drives and host cables.
