Hot-swap rack for dense storage

The iStarUSA BPU-350HD-SILVER converts three 5.25-inch bays into five hot-swap trays that accept both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives. It supports SAS and SATA interfaces at up to 12Gb/s transfer rates. The unit is aimed at server builders who need high-density direct-attached storage in a compact footprint. A RAID controller must be added separately for array configuration.

Aluminium chassis with single 80mm fan

An aluminium front bezel, handle and main chassis use conductive dissipation grooves to spread heat from the drive bays. One 80mm cooling fan provides active airflow and includes a speed-control switch for noise management. LED indicators show power status, drive activity, fan operation and high-temperature alerts. The package includes five SATA cables for immediate installation.

Sustained operation with thermal monitoring

Under continuous load the aluminium body and dissipation grooves work with the fan to maintain stable drive temperatures. The high-temperature LED gives a visual warning if internal heat rises beyond normal limits. Drives up to 14TB capacity are compatible for long-term storage workloads. Hot-swap capability allows drive replacement without powering down the server.

Questions about this item

How do I install the BPU-350HD-SILVER into three 5.25-inch bays and which step is often missed?

Slide the unit into three front-accessible 5.25-inch bays, secure it with screws, connect the five included SATA cables to each drive slot and the backplane power, then set the fan-speed switch — many builders forget to plug the 80 mm fan header into the motherboard or fan controller.

What maintenance will the BPU-350HD-SILVER need over time?

Clean dust from the 80 mm fan and the aluminium dissipation grooves every few months; the fan is the only moving part and can be replaced with a standard 80 mm unit if it becomes noisy or fails.

What is the first limit I will hit when running five drives at 12 Gb/s continuously?

The single 80 mm fan and the conductive aluminium grooves set the thermal ceiling; sustained 12 Gb/s transfers on all five bays will raise drive temperatures until the high-temperature LED triggers, so airflow in the chassis becomes the limiting factor.
