The IBM Split Drive Bay Capability (Model 5631) is a versatile internal module that enables you to divide a standard drive bay into two independent mounting spaces. Designed for data center racks, blade servers and high-performance workstations, this solution maximizes usable space without compromising airflow or structural integrity. With its precision engineered brackets and secure locking mechanism, the split bay adapts to both 2.5 inch SSDs and 3.5 inch HDDs, giving you flexibility to mix storage types in a single enclosure.

Tool-free installation with quick-release levers for fast deployment and maintenance
High strength steel construction ensures durability under heavy vibration
Optimized airflow channels maintain cooling efficiency for both drives
Compatible with IBM server chassis models that support 19 inch rack units
Integrated cable management clips reduce clutter and improve serviceability
