Drive-Bay Conversion

The iStarUSA BPU-340HD-SILVER converts three 5.25-inch bays into four hot-swap trays that accept 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives. It delivers up to 12 Gb/s transfer rates and includes four SATA cables for immediate installation. A single 80 mm fan with speed control provides active cooling.

Suitable Builds

This rack suits servers and workstations that need front-access removable storage using SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs. It also fits 14 TB drives for high-capacity arrays. Builds that require tool-less trays or a built-in RAID controller should look elsewhere because those features are not present.

Deciding Specification

The four hot-swap bays support both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SAS I/II/III and SATA I/II/III devices, so drive form-factor and interface compatibility determine whether this unit fits the storage plan.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gb/s backplane work with my existing 6Gb/s SATA drives?

Yes, the rack supports SATA I/II/III so your 6Gb/s drives will operate at their native speed.

How do I verify the 80mm fan and drives are running correctly after installation?

The front panel shows Power, HDD activity, fan status and high-temperature LEDs for immediate confirmation.

Does the package include the four SATA cables needed for the 3.5-inch bays?

Four SATA cables are included; a RAID controller for RAID modes must be purchased separately.
