Dell PowerEdge 3.5 inch LFF tray caddy CADDY-DELL-LFF-35 mounts SAS or SATA hard drives in compatible server bays.
This OEM Dell drive caddy is a carrier for a 3.5 inch large-form-factor hard drive in a compatible PowerEdge front bay. It holds a SAS or SATA HDD so the drive can be inserted through the server's hot-plug bay and seated against the backplane. The caddy provides the physical fit; the server's backplane and controller determine how the drive is used. CADDY-DELL-LFF-35 is intended for specified PowerEdge rack and tower models across the 12th, 13th and 14th generations, when fitted with matching 3.5 inch bays. IT teams use it to replace a missing carrier or prepare a drive for a front-bay installation. For refurbished PowerEdge builds in Doha and elsewhere in Qatar, matching the carrier to the bay matters as much as choosing the drive interface.
CADDY-DELL-LFF-35Form factor 3.5 inch LFFWill it fit my system?
The named PowerEdge models include rack and tower systems from three generations. Compatibility here depends on the individual chassis having the matching 3.5 inch LFF front-bay configuration. A model name alone does not establish the bay size of every configuration of that server.

Specification
This is a drive carrier, not a drive or storage controller. SAS and SATA describe the HDDs it is intended to hold; the installed server hardware handles the drive connection. The 3.5 inch LFF format refers to both the drive size and the matching front-bay size.
Installation
Mount a compatible 3.5 inch SAS or SATA HDD in the tool-less carrier, keeping the drive aligned with the tray. Insert the assembled carrier into a matching front bay until it seats against the backplane and the bay mechanism closes. For a drive already in service, follow the server's storage procedure before removing it, even when the bay supports hot-plug access. The carrier provides physical mounting and front access; drive operation depends on the server's backplane and controller.

Ask on WhatsApp sales@serverdove.comWhat is this Dell part used for?
This is a 3.5-inch hard drive tray caddy for supported Dell PowerEdge servers. It provides the carrier needed to mount a SAS or SATA hard drive in a compatible hot-plug bay, making it useful for replacements, rebuilds, and spare parts inventory.
Which drive size does this caddy support?
This tray is for 3.5-inch large-form-factor drives. It is intended for servers that use 3.5-inch front bays, so it is not the same as a 2.5-inch small-form-factor carrier. Buyers typically choose it when the server chassis is built around LFF storage.
Does it work with SAS and SATA drives?
Yes, the listing identifies it as supporting SAS and SATA hard drives. The caddy is the physical carrier, while the server backplane and controller determine how the installed drive is used. That makes it suitable for Dell PowerEdge systems that accept either drive type in matching bays.
Which Dell PowerEdge models is it compatible with?
The compatible models listed for this caddy are R520, R530, R540, R720, R730, R740, T430, T440, T630, and T640. These are the Dell PowerEdge rack and tower systems identified in the stock notes as using this carrier style.
Is this a hot-plug drive carrier?
Yes, it is described as a hot-plug drive carrier. In supported PowerEdge systems, that means the drive can be inserted into the front bay and serviced through the carrier mechanism without opening the server chassis, which is important for maintenance workflows.
Do I need tools to install a drive in this tray?
The stock notes describe it as tool-less drive installation. That makes it easier to mount a compatible drive into the tray and prepare it for use in the server. The exact server-side insertion process still depends on the PowerEdge chassis and bay design.
Is this an original Dell OEM caddy?
Yes, it is identified as an OEM Dell server caddy. That is important for buyers who want the original carrier style used in Dell PowerEdge systems, especially when matching existing trays in a mixed fleet or replacing a missing part in a supported server.

Why buy refurbished
Enterprise hardware, tested in Doha, at a fraction of the price of new
Every unit we sell has already proven itself in a data centre. We test it again, grade it, and back it with a warranty before it leaves our stock.
Tested before it ships
POST, burn-in, memory and power-supply checks on every unit. Anything that fails is repaired or pulled from stock, not sold.
Same performance, lower cost
A Xeon runs the same workloads whether it is new or two years old. Spend the difference on more CPUs, memory or storage.
In stock, not on order
New enterprise hardware can take weeks or months to arrive. Ours is on the shelf in Doha and delivered across Qatar within a day.
Warranty and local support
Every unit is covered. Installation, configuration and hardware support are handled by our own team in Qatar, not a call centre abroad.
