2.5" SAS SATA Caddy for 14Gen PowerEdge

This new tray bracket adapts a 2.5" SAS or SATA hard drive for installation in 3.5" drive bays of Dell PowerEdge R440, R540, R740 and R740XD servers. It matches part number X7K8W and CN-0X7K8W for 14th generation chassis compatibility. The caddy provides the mechanical interface required to secure smaller drives in larger hot-swap slots.

Fits administrators upgrading 14Gen rack servers

This bracket suits IT teams populating 3.5" bays in the listed 14Gen models with 2.5" SAS or SATA media. It does not support drives larger than 2.5" or servers outside the R440, R540, R740 and R740XD lines. Buyers needing a different form factor or generation should verify chassis specifications before ordering.

Questions about this item

How does the 2.5-inch drive sit inside the 3.5-inch bay of a PowerEdge R740?

The caddy tray holds the smaller drive securely and aligns it with the backplane so the server sees it as a normal bay.

What does the SAS SATA label on the bracket mean for drive choice?

It accepts both SAS and SATA 2.5-inch drives, but the server backplane and controller still decide which protocol is active.
