Unlock maximum storage density inside your PC, server, or workstation with the iStarUSA BPU-230SATA Drive Bay Adapter Internal. This rugged, aluminum chassis is built to expand internal storage with hot-swap capability while delivering dependable performance for demanding workloads. Whether you’re building a media workstation, a data-intensive workstation, or a small business server, the BPU-230SATA is designed to deliver efficient cooling, flexible RAID options, and a clean, professional installation that keeps your system running smoothly under pressure. With its sturdy construction and purpose-built cooling, this drive bay adapter ensures you can scale your storage without compromising reliability or workspace aesthetics.
- Hot-swap ready design lets you add, replace, or upgrade drives without powering down the system, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance. The BPU-230SATA backplane is engineered for frequent drive changes, making it ideal for server rooms, editing suites, and data centers where uptime matters.
- RAID-ready performance supports multiple RAID configurations, including RAID 0 for speed, RAID 1 for redundancy, RAID 1+0 for a balance of performance and protection, and RAID 5 for fault tolerance with greater storage efficiency. This flexibility helps you tailor storage to your workload—high throughput for video editing, fast access for databases, or robust redundancy for archival data.
- Aluminum chassis with active cooling combines lightweight strength with effective heat dissipation. The durable aluminum construction maintains stability in busy environments, while the integrated 80mm cooling fan keeps drives operating at peak performance by reducing thermal throttling and extending drive life in sustained workloads.
- Internal storage expansion, clean build The BPU-230SATA is designed to fit neatly inside standard chassis enclosures, providing additional bays for SATA drives without adding external enclosures. Its streamlined form factor supports tidy cable management and improved airflow, helping your system stay cool and organized even when fully populated with drives.
- Reliable SATA drive compatibility The drive bay adapter works with SATA-based drives, enabling straightforward integration into existing SATA infrastructures. Its backplane and connectors are optimized for consistent data transfer and dependable operation across multiple drive scenarios, from backups to high-performance storage pools.

It works! Quality pillow.
Size: Standard (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This does actually provide a cooling effect, and it's very comfortable! The accompanying literature is helpful too. I believe this to be a quality pillow for the price.

Most comfortable pillow I’ve ever slept on
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White(cooling)
This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It doesn't mash down like other pillows. Cradles my neck perfectly plus it’s cool. I broke my neck a couple of years ago and this pillow feels very good and comfortable. Definitely recommend to everyone. Ive used it since May and it’s retained its shape.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back.
Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.

Actually Cooling Pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This is a really nice pillow, I was worried it would be too soft or too firm but it's just right and it's actually cooling, it feels cool every time I touch it. I've noticed an improvement in sleep since using it. Would recommend!

Repurchased in King Size – Still Love These Cooling Pillows
Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling), Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
After using the queen-size version of these pillows for over a year, we purchased the king-size set when we upgraded to a king mattress. Both my husband and I really like them.
The cooling feature works well, and we like that each side feels different—when I run cold, I use the softer bamboo side, while my husband prefers the cooler side since he tends to sleep hot. They fit well in our king-size pillowcases and feel supportive in all sleeping positions, whether I’m on my stomach, side, or back.
I also appreciate that you can remove some of the filling to adjust the firmness. The covers are washable, which makes them easy to maintain. Overall, we’re very happy with this repurchase and the long-lasting comfort.
