Drive Bay Converter
The iStarUSA T-G525-SS fits a standard 5.25" front bay and accepts one 3.5" or 2.5" drive. It provides a hot-swap tray with a key lock and LED indicators for power and drive activity. The all-metal chassis includes a 30 mm fan for active cooling.
Server Builders Needing Hot-Swap Access
Administrators who want tool-less drive changes in a rack or tower will appreciate the screw-less carrier for standard 3.5" drives. Builders using slim 3.5" drives must still secure them with screws, so the tray does not suit those models. Systems without a free 5.25" bay cannot install this unit.
6.0 Gb/s SATA and SAS Interface
The backplane supports SATA I, II, III and SAS I, II at up to 6.0 Gb/s, which sets the maximum throughput for any installed drive. Drives with faster interfaces will operate at this ceiling. The single tray holds one drive, so arrays requiring multiple simultaneous bays need additional cages.

Questions about this item
Which 3.5" drive type works with the screw-less mounting bracket in the T-G525-SS?
The screw-less bracket fits standard 3.5" SATA or SAS hard drives; slim 3.5" models still require screws.
What does the 6.0 Gb/s transfer rate mean when the cage is installed in a server?
It allows each connected SATA III or SAS drive to run at its full 6.0 Gb/s link speed, limited only by the host controller.
Does the SAS/SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface cap performance with 2.5" drives in this cage?
No — 2.5" SAS or SATA drives also connect at up to 6.0 Gb/s through the same backplane.
