Supporting SAS I\/II and SATA I\/II\/III at up to 6Gb\/s with 12TB compatibility, it delivers high-density storage expansion for server, NAS, and workstation environments. Full aluminum construction with conductive dissipation grooves and an 80mm cooling fan with front-to-back airflow ensures thermal stability during continuous operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHot-swap functionality allows drives to be added, removed, or replaced while the system remains powered on — minimizing downtime in production storage environments. The BPL variant features a black plastic lockable handle for physical drive security against unauthorized removal. RAID and JBOD configurations are supported with a compatible external controller, making it suitable for both redundant and high-capacity non-RAID storage builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Density Storage Expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e — Five hot-swap bays in three 5.25\" slots for the highest drive count per bay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixed HDD \u0026amp; SSD Deployments\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports both 3.5\" and 2.5\" drives in the same rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRAID \u0026amp; JBOD Arrays\u003c\/strong\u003e — Internal server RAID and JBOD applications with external controller support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecure Storage Deployments\u003c\/strong\u003e — BPL lockable handle variant for unauthorized access prevention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnterprise \u0026amp; Workstation Builds\u003c\/strong\u003e — Aluminum construction and active cooling for 24\/7 operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariant Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e — MPN: BPU-350SATA-BLACK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlue\u003c\/strong\u003e — MPN: BPU-350SATA-BLUE \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Plastic Lockable Handle (BPL)\u003c\/strong\u003e — MPN: BPU-350SATA-BPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBay Conversion\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3× 5.25\" external to 5× 3.5\"\/2.5\" internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Support\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2.5\" \u0026amp; 3.5\" SAS I\/II, SATA I\/II\/III HDD\/SSD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Drive Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e — Up to 12TB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransfer Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e — Up to 6Gb\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHot-Swap\u003c\/strong\u003e — Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling\u003c\/strong\u003e — 80mm fan with speed control + conductive dissipation grooves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — Aluminum with heat-sink body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLED Indicators\u003c\/strong\u003e — Power, fan, high temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRAID Support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Yes (requires external RAID\/JBOD controller)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black, Blue, BPL (Black Lockable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"iStarUSA","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":51782449234241,"sku":"CIBPU350SATABLACK","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":51782449267009,"sku":"CIBPU350SATABLUE","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Plastic Lockable Handle","offer_id":51782449299777,"sku":"CIBPU350SATABPL","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5524\/8705\/files\/BPU-350SATA-BLACK__08030.1539988314.1280.1280.jpg?v=1770799677","url":"https:\/\/aaawave.com\/products\/istarusa-bpu-350sata-hot-swap-rack-3x525-to-5x35","provider":"AAAWave","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
