Dual-purpose SATA rack
The iStarUSA BPX-35U3-SA is a new 3.5-inch bay adapter that holds one 2.5-inch SATA drive. It combines a fixed internal rack with a removable aluminium enclosure that slides in and out. The enclosure connects internally through a SATA 6 Gbps link to the motherboard and externally through a USB 3.0 port for portable access.
Internal or external workflows
This kit suits builders who want a hot-swap 2.5-inch drive inside a standard 3.5-inch bay and the option to eject that same drive for USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 use elsewhere. It does not suit buyers who need to mount a 3.5-inch drive in the removable tray or who require more than one hot-swap slot in a single bay.
Single 2.5-inch SATA tray
The decisive specification is the single removable tray that accepts 7 mm or 9.5 mm 2.5-inch SATA I, II or III hard drives and SSDs. The tray ejects with a button press and provides both the internal SATA connection and the external USB 3.0 interface.
