What This Product Actually Is
This is a hot-swap drive tray/caddy — the metal carrier that holds a bare 3.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drive and lets it slide into an HP ProLiant server's front hot-swap bay. It does not include a hard drive. If you need a working hard disk, see our storage drives catalogue instead — this listing is for the empty carrier only.
Fit & Compatibility
Sized for HP ProLiant's 3.5-inch (LFF) hot-swap bay family — the same carrier design HP has used across Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 tower and rack servers (DL380, DL360, ML350, DL180, DL160, and similar chassis with 3.5" LFF front bays). Confirm your exact server model and generation with our team before ordering — HP changed connector/latch details across generations, and a caddy from the wrong generation won't seat correctly even though it looks similar.
Build
Metal frame with a tool-less or single-screw drive-retention mechanism (HP's standard LFF caddy design), a front latch/handle for hot-swap insertion and removal, and the connector cutout that aligns the drive to the backplane. No electronics, no cache, no RPM rating — it's a mechanical carrier, not a storage device.
Where This Will Let You Down
Wrong choice if: you need a working hard drive (buy a drive, not just the tray); you have a 2.5-inch (SFF) server (this is the larger 3.5" carrier — SFF servers need a different, smaller caddy); or you're not sure which HP generation your server is (a Gen8 caddy and a Gen10 caddy can look almost identical but don't always interchange cleanly — tell us your exact model number).
