Discover a storage-forward chassis built for compact spaces without compromising on capacity. The iStarUSA Compact Stylish 3x 3.5" Hotswap Trayless mini-ITX Tower is crafted for users who demand mass data storage in a small footprint—ideal for home servers, media libraries, small offices, or versatile DIY NAS setups. This external multi-bay tower emphasizes simplicity and efficiency: three 3.5" drive bays with a trayless design for quick, tool-free installation, robust steel construction, and a thoughtful layout that prioritizes airflow and drive longevity. Paired with the option to add a 120mm cooling fan, it delivers reliable performance even under sustained workloads, while keeping a sleek, minimalist appearance that blends with modern workspaces.

  • Compact trayless design enables quick hard drive installation and removal without tools, dramatically reducing maintenance downtime and keeping data accessible in emergencies. The intelligent layout positions the three 3.5" bays for balanced airflow, with cage spacing that minimizes vibration and noise while maximizing drive density in a small footprint.
  • Supports up to 3 x 3.5" hard drives with optimized drive cage configuration for maximizing storage density in a mini-ITX footprint. This makes it an excellent choice for expanding a home media library, backup repository, or compact NAS without sacrificing precious desk or shelf space.
  • Trayless hot-swap capability with straightforward drive hot-swap operations for easy data access and replacements on the fly. No tools are required to replace drives, enabling quick scale-ups or maintenance during critical data-workflow windows.
  • Optional 120mm cooling fan can be added to improve ventilation and maintain drive temperatures, especially under heavy I/O workloads. Enhanced airflow helps prolong the life of drives and sustains performance during long-running tasks.
  • Rugged steel construction with thoughtful ventilation design and optional fan support ensures durable performance in compact environments. The chassis is built to endure everyday use in demanding setups while maintaining a clean, professional look.

how to install iStarUSA Compact Stylish 3x 3.5" Hotswap Trayless mini-ITX Tower

  • Step 1: Power down your system and unplug all cables; ensure your workspace is static-free and organized to prevent misrouted cables during installation.
  • Step 2: If the chassis is part of a larger build, remove any exterior panels or access doors as needed to access the three 3.5" bays.
  • Step 3: Prepare up to three 3.5" drives by aligning them with the trayless mounting area; if the backplane is included, connect the SATA power and data interfaces before sliding the drives into place.
  • Step 4: Insert each drive into the respective bay until it seats firmly; ensure nothing obstructs the connectors and that the drives sit securely without excessive force.
  • Step 5: Route power and data cables neatly to preserve airflow and minimize cable clutter inside the chassis; connect the drives to the appropriate motherboard or storage controller.
  • Step 6: If you opted for the 120mm cooling fan, install it according to the chassis guidelines and ensure the fan is oriented to maximize intake or exhaust based on your cooling strategy.
  • Step 7: Reattach any panels or doors, reconnect your system power, and boot the computer. Enter BIOS/UEFI to confirm the new drives are detected, then initialize and format as required by your operating system.

Extremely diappointing
Style: 15" (2 x 2Ah)
I purchased a Greenworks Impact Wrench for my son. I was so so impressed with it that I purchased one for myself & decided to try their 2x24V 15" Cordless String Trimmer. Unfortunately just because a company makes one excellent tool doesn't mean that all their tools are good. The first problem I had with the trimmer was that it didn't come with the batteries or charger in the ad. It was supposed to have 4.0Ah batteries but came with 2.0Ah. In addition, more often than not, the manual didn't agree with actual parts & features. The trimmer requires two 24V batteries to operate. It can't be used with one battery even though it has a "low power" setting. On full power the trimmer had adequate power for most weeds but is no where near as powerful as a gas trimmer. The batteries only lasted about 20 minutes (this trimmer does not have a brushless motor). The 2 line feed head is not designed for easy reloading. In fact, it is the worst design I've ever owned. I've decided to return it & try one of their 2x24V brushless motor trimmers which should provide more power & has 4.0Ah batteries but costs significantly more.

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TRASH - edited
Style: 15" (2 x 2Ah)
I bought this product and it arrived with one battery that doesn't charge out of the two. Without 2 batteries, it won't work at all. Attempted to contact Greenworks with the number Amazon provided. They were closed on the weekends. Called Monday and the message stated that customer support closed early. Attempted using the Chat option for help. It states the model number STE304, doesn't exist, so I couldn't proceed. Called on Tuesday. I have been on hold for over an hour and still nothing. Will update. After about an hour and a half on hold (yes, the offer the option of leaving a call back number, which I didn't use as I had to work from home to access customer service when they were open. Also, they needed me to try out stuff with the batteries and give them serial numbers, etc.) The lady I spoke to spoke English and appeared to be US based. Eventually, after doing the "did you restart it" version of troubleshooting, it was indeed determined my battery didn't work and they offered to ship me a new one at no cost. I then had to dispose of my non-working battery in the proper manner, and our yearly toxic garbage pick up coincided with this, thankfully. It took time out of my work schedule to get this resolved, but the lady I spoke to was great and I did get my battery about a week or so later, which I did appreciate. Customer service needs better access esp since you have to have the physical batteries and charger to get this resolved, which you may not be able to do while working. Maybe they can't find people to work as that seems to be an issue everywhere. The weed eater works fine. Updated from one star to three based on resolving issues and a dead battery upon arrival, rather than the actual equipment working.

Edged entire corner lot with a sidewalk on one charge of the batteries.
Style: 2 x 2.0Ah
Excellent. A bit heavier than my echo gas weed trimmer for reference. Fair balance but it is a bit of a workout. The good thing is I can edge a 10k sq ft corner lot in about 1/3 the time. On the corner, I have both sides of the sidewalk plus the curb side to do. I've owned gas edgers before also. This comes in comparable to the price I paid for one of those 20 years ago so I would also say a good if not very good value for the buck. It was not an initial edging but 1st maintenance for the year and rather overgrown. Didn't even use one full charge on the edger.

Amazing!!! Works great
Size: 9 inches
Works really well. Cit through my Saint Augustine grass like a breeze and it is super thick. Very happy with purchase. Battery has good life, charged it for a full 24hrs before use and it last a long time. They send 2 blades and the battery with charger which is a huge plus because everything else I looked at you had to purchase those separately and it was just as much as the edger. This is a great deal and worth the money. Highly recommend 👌
