Three 5.25" bays to four 3.5" SATA hot-swap cage
The iStarUSA BPU-340-SA-RED converts three standard 5.25-inch drive bays into a four-bay enclosure for 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. It is built for servers and workstations that need high-density storage with hot-swap capability. The all-aluminum body includes conductive dissipation grooves and an 80mm cooling fan for front-to-back airflow. RAID 0, 1 and 5 configurations are supported when paired with a suitable controller.
Check 5.25" bay count and RAID controller
Verify that the chassis provides three adjacent 5.25-inch front bays with enough depth for the unit. A hardware RAID controller or motherboard RAID support is required to enable the advertised RAID 0, 1 and 5 modes. The backplane uses a SATA 2.0 interface, so confirm the host connector type matches. The 10 lb weight should be supported by the case mounting rails.
Four SATA cables and fan-speed switch included
Four SATA data cables are bundled for direct connection to the controller or motherboard. An integrated fan-speed control switch lets operators balance cooling performance against acoustic output. Power, fan-status and high-temperature LED indicators provide at-a-glance drive-health monitoring. The aluminium handles double as heat sinks to aid drive thermal management.

Questions about this item
Does the BPU-340-SA- RED ship with cables or do I need to buy SATA cables separately?
The package includes four SATA cables so no separate cable purchase is required.
Which RAID levels does the BPU-340-SA- RED support and is a controller included?
The backplane supports RAID 0, 1 and 5 but requires an additional RAID controller to use those modes.
What does the SATA 2.0 interface mean for drive speed when the cage is installed?
The backplane is SATA 2.0 hot-swap capable so drives will operate at up to 3 Gb/s through this cage.
