Three 5.25″ bays to four 3.5″ drives

The iStarUSA BPU-340SATA-RED is a hot-swap cage that converts three standard 5.25″ drive bays into four 3.5″ SAS or SATA bays. It supports 6.0 Gb/s transfer rates and includes an 80 mm cooling fan for thermal management. The aluminium chassis and handles provide conductive heat dissipation for sustained operation.

Suits servers needing dense hot-swap storage

This unit fits administrators who want four hot-swappable 3.5″ drives behind the front panel without sacrificing more than three 5.25″ slots. It also accepts 2.5″ SAS or SATA drives for mixed deployments. Builders who require more than four drives per cage or who need integrated RAID processing should consider other solutions.

6.0 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane speed

The backplane delivers up to 6.0 Gb/s per drive bay, matching the ceiling of current SAS and SATA hard drives. RAID 1, 0, 1+0 and 5 are supported when a separate RAID controller is added. Power, drive-activity, fan and high-temperature LEDs give immediate status feedback.
