2.5" SAS SATA Drive Caddy G176J 4 Pack

This Vszerda hard drive tray caddy fits Dell PowerEdge servers that accept 2.5 inch SAS or SATA hot-swap drives. The metal frame with ABS plastic corbel resists deformation and protects installed drives. Each pack includes four trays and sixteen mounting screws. Compatible part numbers cover G176J, 0G176J, G281D, 0G281D, WX387 and 08FKXC.

Suits 11th to 14th generation PowerEdge

The caddy works across 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th generation PowerEdge rack and tower models plus PowerVault ME and MD enclosures listed in the compatibility data. Builders using 3.5 inch drive bays or non-Dell chassis cannot use this tray. Buyers who need tool-less installation or status LEDs should look at other solutions.

Four trays with sixteen screws for 2.5" SAS SATA

The single specification that decides fit is the 2.5 inch SAS SATA hot-swap form factor matching Dell part numbers G176J, 0G176J, G281D, 0G281D, WX387 and 08FKXC. Each pack supplies exactly four trays and sixteen screws for populating multiple bays at once.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Vszerda G176J caddy into a PowerEdge R720, and which step causes alignment problems?

Slide the 2.5" drive into the metal tray, secure it with the four supplied screws per caddy, then insert the assembly straight into the hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step that causes misalignment is forcing the tray before the drive screws are fully seated.

What maintenance or replacement will the Vszerda G176J caddies need after extended use in a PowerEdge T640?

The ABS plastic corbel can fatigue after repeated insertions; inspect the latch hinge and replace any caddy that no longer locks securely or shows cracked plastic.

What is the first limit that appears when the Vszerda G176J caddies run continuously in a PowerEdge R730xd?

The tray's metal body conducts heat from the drive; sustained workloads are limited by the drive's own thermal throttle point because the caddy adds no active cooling.
