Server Storage Expansion Kit

This all-in-one set includes a 2.5" to 3.5" hard drive adapter and a matched 3.5" tray caddy designed for Dell PowerEdge R240 and R340 servers. It allows installation of 2.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drives and solid state drives into standard 3.5-inch drive slots. The durable metal construction features anti-vibration performance to protect drives during operation. Hot swap support enables convenient drive installation and replacement without system downtime.

Compatibility Check Points

Verify that your server is a Dell PowerEdge R240 or R340 model before ordering. Confirm the drive bay accepts standard 3.5-inch form factor caddies with the correct mounting hole pattern. Ensure your 2.5-inch drives use SATA or SAS interfaces, as other interfaces are not supported. Check that the server chassis and backplane support hot swap functionality for the tray to operate as intended.

Included Components Impact

The bundled adapter converts the physical dimensions of 2.5-inch drives to fit the 3.5-inch bay securely. The matched tray caddy provides the proper mounting interface and hot swap connector alignment for the target server models. Together they eliminate the need to source separate adapter brackets and carrier trays from different vendors. Anti-vibration design on both pieces helps maintain drive reliability in multi-drive server environments.
