The iStarUSA BPN-DE350SS-BLACK is a trayless hot-swap cage that converts three 5.25-inch bays into five 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays, suited to server or workstation builders who need more drive slots and support for drive swaps.
Recommended For
- Home-server and NAS builders with three adjacent 5.25-inch bays who want to fit five 3.5-inch drives in a tower case and access them from the front.
- Server or workstation operators who regularly replace or rotate 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives and want trayless, front-access hot swapping rather than opening the case for each change.
- DIY storage builders expanding an existing RAID or multi-drive system who already have compatible SAS/SATA connections and a separate RAID controller where needed.
- Storage builders consolidating several 3.5-inch drives into fewer front-access bays, such as users repurposing a workstation or server case with unused 5.25-inch bays.
