5.25" 4-bay NVMe U.2 backplane
This Athena Power BP-U24NVMEO525 backplane occupies a single 5.25" bay and holds four 2.5" NVMe U.2 drives in individual metal carriers. Sliding trays with vibration-reducing springs allow quick drive swaps without tools. A built-in fan provides active cooling for sustained workloads.
Suits builders adding dense U.2 storage.
The unit targets workstations or servers that can accept a 5.25" front bay and have Oculink SFF-8611 host ports available. It does not support M.2 form-factor drives, nor does it include a host adapter or external cabling. Buyers without Oculink connectivity on their motherboard or HBA should look at alternative enclosure types.
Four Oculink SFF-8611 host connectors
Each of the four drive bays connects through a dedicated Oculink SFF-8611 link, enabling Gen3 32 Gbps and Gen4 64 Gbps throughput per drive. Two 15-pin power connectors feed the backplane and carriers. This connector count and interface are the primary compatibility check before purchase.

Fragen zu diesem Artikel
What host connectors does the BP-U24NVMEO525 need to run four NVMe U.2 drives?
The backplane uses four Oculink SFF-8611 connectors and two 15-pin power connectors, so your host must provide four Oculink ports and matching power cables.
Can I keep using my 2.5-inch NVMe U.2 drives with this 5.25-inch bay unit?
Yes, the enclosure accepts up to four 2.5-inch NVMe U.2 SSDs or HDDs, each mounted in its own sliding carrier that fits the 5.25-inch bay.
How do I confirm each drive is running at Gen 3 32 Gbps or Gen 4 64 Gbps after installation?
Check the link speed reported by your operating system or RAID controller for each Oculink port; it will show 32 Gbps for Gen 3 or 64 Gbps for Gen 4 depending on the drive and host capability.
