Drive density and interface fit
The iStarUSA BPU-340HD-BPL fits three 5.25-inch front bays and provides four hot-swap trays for 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SAS and SATA drives. It targets server builders who need high-density storage with 12Gb/s throughput in a compact aluminium chassis. Lockable trays add physical security for multi-tenant environments.
Bay count and cable routing
Verify that your chassis has three adjacent 5.25-inch openings and enough depth for the 8.03-inch enclosure. The package includes four SATA cables; SAS installations will require compatible cables and a RAID controller for array management. Confirm your backplane or HBA supports SAS I, II or III signalling before ordering.
Thermal behaviour under load
A single 80 mm fan with a speed-control switch moves air across the conductive dissipation grooves in the aluminium body. Power, drive-activity, fan and high-temperature LEDs give immediate status feedback. The design is rated for 14 TB drives, so sustained write workloads stay within thermal limits without throttling.

Questions about this item
What is included in the package and what must be purchased separately?
The package includes four SATA cables and one 80 mm cooling fan. A RAID controller is required separately for RAID configuration.
Which drive sizes and interfaces does this rack support?
It supports both 2.5" and 3.5" drives using SAS I/II/III or SATA I/II/III interfaces.
What does the 12 Gb/s transfer rate mean for installed drives?
The backplane supports up to 12 Gb/s per drive bay, so SAS III or SATA III drives can run at their rated speed.
