Compact tower with five hot-swap bays

This iStarUSA S-35-B5SL is a black aluminum-and-steel tower chassis that accepts a Mini-ITX motherboard and provides five front-accessible 3.5" hot-swap drive bays plus one internal 2.5" bay. A single 120mm fan and two USB 2.0 ports sit on the front panel.

Suits storage-focused Mini-ITX builds

Builders who want dense 3.5" storage in a compact tower will find the five hot-swap bays and 6.0 Gb/s SATA/SAS support convenient. Those needing multiple expansion cards or additional internal drive mounts beyond the single 2.5" slot should consider other form factors.

Single Mini-ITX expansion slot

Only one expansion slot is available, limiting the system to a single add-in card such as a RAID controller or network adapter. Verify that your planned configuration fits this constraint before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 5 x 3.5" hot-swap bays are functioning after assembly?

Power on the chassis using the front button, insert a 3.5" SATA or SAS drive into each bay, and verify the system detects all five drives at 6.0Gb/s speeds.

What ships with the S-35-B5SL and which parts must be sourced separately?

The box includes the aluminium and steel tower with a 120mm fan, front USB 2.0 ports, silver HDD handles and a single 2.5" internal bay; you must add a mini-ITX motherboard, Flex power supply, drives and any expansion card.

Which capacity version of the S-35-B5SL should I choose for maximum 3.5" hot-swap storage?

This model provides exactly five 3.5" hot-swap bays plus one internal 2.5" bay; there are no alternate capacity versions, so select this chassis when you need the full five-bay configuration.
