Trayless Hot-swap Cage, SST-FS304B-V, Converts 3 x 5.25" to 4 x 3.5" SAS 12G / SATA 6G

This is a trayless hot-swap drive cage designed for converting three 5.25" bays into four 3.5" SAS 12G or SATA 6G drive slots. It is ideal for users looking to maximize storage capacity in a standard ATX case without the need for additional trays. The cage supports hot-swap functionality, allowing drives to be replaced without shutting down the system. It also includes independent LED indicators for each drive, making it easier to monitor their status at a glance.

The FS304-V is built with a steel enclosure and plastic HDD trays, which makes it more affordable than previous models while maintaining the same performance standards. It supports transfer rates of up to 12Gbit/s, ensuring compatibility with high-speed SAS and SATA drives. The design includes a built-in cooling fan to help manage heat, which is essential for maintaining optimal performance and longevity of the drives.

This drive cage is compatible with 9.5mm slim optical drives, offering flexibility for users who still need to install optical media. It fits into standard 5.25" bays and is suitable for use in servers, workstations, or high-performance desktops that require multiple storage drives. The hot-swap feature is particularly useful in environments where system downtime needs to be minimized.

The FS304-V comes with all necessary components to install and use immediately. No additional tools are required for installation, and it is designed to be user-friendly. However, it does not include any drives or cooling solutions beyond the built-in fan, so users may need to ensure their case has adequate airflow.
