It is a budget 4U 12 bay server chassis. Seems to be lowest price I can find maybe historic low too. $249.99 more than $100 off MSRP

Rosewill RSV-L4412U is the one with the front-loading hot-swappable bays. This is the one you want.
The other models like the 4000u, avoid them. They are like in the picture, they are mounted backwards and are a total pain to replace HDDs with.
I still haven't used the second chassis. It's in my project pile.

These don't have a "backplane" per-se you need to run SATA cables to the motherboard/HBA and PSU power to each drive.
I've got the R4000U case with 2x RSV-SATA-Cage-34 installed each with a noctua fan, 2x LSI SAS2008 9200-8i in IT mode and it works really well.

I mean it looks absolutely similar but I can't find any spec measurement or compatibility anywhere.
The iStarUSA D-400-6 comes with a SAS/SATA backplane and it is absolute crap in unraid. Im getting so many errors, and if directly connect my drives to my LSI HBA controller, they are good.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found the answer to my question. It will fit!
The hot swap bays are very limiting at 12 for such a big case.
I opted to get a second had super micro case with more bays, more features, for less money. Just my 2 cents for a server build.

Which taught me another lesson, never buy cheaper racks that can't use rails like the Startech one I went with. Utter nightmare to work on.

I hope you can just remove a drive and not the module if you want else this really is not hotswap and you cant take down a running NAS by pulling 4 drives out to replace 1 bad one lol.
That said my most similar device is my Dell R510 I got it off ebay for like $200 and it had the ram, the rails, the power suppply, the cpu, the drive cages, etc.
It may cost a bit more money to run than a special low power build with one of these but it will take 25 years before the difference to catch up and by then I'll probably have a new better server.
I do prefer enterprise gear for this kind of thing, but I underrstand its an undertaking that some may not be comfortable with as its similar but still a whole different world.
Best case here is you need a storage server and have an old computer that was going to go in the trash and you can use this to repurpose it as a storage server.
If your going to build it by buying everything... I think you will be better off with other options, even IMO an overpriced prebuild NAS from the likes of QNAP etc.
I have a 2nd Dell R210ii on the way to build a firewall with, 10gb router for $150? yes please.

4u, no hotswap
$120 - 15 HDDs - I have this one, removed front grill and second row of fans, as well as back 2x 80mm fans, it's fabulously quiet

With this SATA backplane (or no backplane at all) you can only connect 4 drives per each SFF-8087 cable with a split cable.
I think you are right in that the backplane just has 4 separate SATA ports for each cage. I was hoping it'd just be a SFF-8087 connector, but at this price point it's hard to complain.
Part of me wanted to splurge on the new 45HomeLab HL15 that just came out, but that's $800 lol. Man homelabbing can be expensive!
Amen to that!
But so much better than it used to be.

I bought the base RSV-L4000U and three of those and was able to do an easy conversion. The bay on the right WAS different and required some work to get the hot-swap insert to fit vertically (just an aesthetic choice). Had to move the front panel IO from horizontal to vertical and then had to "persuade" the insert to stay in place using a drill and screw.
TBH, if I had to do it over again in 2024 with SSD's being so cheap, I'd buy TWO of the 4x3.5 inserts to go in the two left bays (literally plug and play) and then buy ICYDOCK 6x2.5 inserts for the other 3 5.25" bays to get a nice (up to) 18x2.5" SSD array instead without any mods.
For $250, the pre-build 12-bay was a solid deal. But at normal prices, the "hacked" option is cheaper. And more flexible. Just my 2 cents.
Regarding the case quality, I like it fine. It's really easy to mod and takes any kind of mobo up to EATX and a standard ATX PSU (all great for homelab). My only gripe is the rails. They are BAD. They don't fit properly on a rail, and the case is just ever so slightly too wide, so the 2x0.5" rail slides can easily get jammed on the rack. Or scrape the mounting block. I got it to work okay, but it required getting the rails screwed in to the posts JUST so, and definitely not the way the design was intended to work. Hard to explain, but suffice it to say that they needed to trim a couple mm off of this chassis to work well with their sliding rail system.
