Precision T5820 Hard Drive Adapter

This adapter enables installation of additional storage devices inside the Dell Precision T5820 tower workstation. It connects compatible drives to the system backplane so the workstation can recognise and use them. The part is designed for the T5820 chassis and supports the platform’s flexible storage configuration.

Upgrades the factory drive bay layout

The T5820 ships with one 2TB HDD and one 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD. This adapter adds the physical interface needed to populate empty drive bays or swap storage types without replacing the whole chassis. The upgrade is worth it when project files, virtual machines or media libraries outgrow the original two-drive arrangement.

Fits the T5820 tower with 950W supply

The adapter mounts in the toolless chassis alongside the existing Xeon W-2145 processor, 32GB memory and Quadro P2000 graphics. It draws power from the 950W unit and uses existing backplane connectors, freeing PCIe slots for other add-in cards while expanding local storage capacity.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell Precision T5820 tower have tool-free drive bays for this adapter?

The tower uses a toolless chassis design, so the adapter slides into the 3.5-inch bay without screws; the step people miss is locking the green latch fully until it clicks.

How is the adapter secured inside the T5820?

Insert the adapter into the front-accessible drive cage, engage the toolless retention lever, and push until the latch snaps; forgetting to seat the latch causes the drive to disconnect under vibration.

Will the adapter need any firmware updates or tray replacements over time?

The adapter itself has no firmware; only the drive inserted into it may receive updates, and the plastic tray clips can fatigue after repeated swaps, so keep a spare tray if you change drives often.
