Vszerda 3.5" Hard Drive Tray Caddy with 2.5" Adapter Bracket for Dell PowerEdge 11th-14th Gen

3.5" SAS/SATA Caddy for PowerEdge

This 3.5-inch hard-drive tray caddy fits Dell PowerEdge servers from the 11th through 14th generations. It accepts a single 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drive and includes a 2.5-inch adapter bracket so smaller drives can be mounted in the same bay. The package supplies the caddy, the adapter bracket and twelve mounting screws. Server administrators can use it to replace a missing tray or to add a drive to an empty hot-swap slot.

Suits admins upgrading Dell 11G-14G servers.

The tray matches the mounting holes and latch mechanism of the listed PowerEdge and PowerVault models, so it slides straight into those chassis. It will not align with servers from other vendors, with Dell Precision workstations, or with enclosures that use a different carrier design. Builders who need a tool-less plastic sled or a carrier for a 7mm drive should look at a different part.

SAS/SATA interface support

The caddy passes both SAS and SATA signals through its backplane connector, so the installed drive communicates at the speed its own controller provides. No protocol conversion or speed limitation is introduced by the tray itself. If the target system requires a proprietary connector or a different electrical interface, this caddy will not work.
