About This Product
Overview
The HPE 2.5" SFF HDD Tray Caddy Gen8 Gen9 Gen10 is a server drive mounting accessory designed for compatible HPE systems that use a small form factor 2.5-inch drive bay. Built for use with select Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers, this tray caddy helps secure a drive in place while supporting the installation of SAS or SATA HDDs and SSDs. It is identified by HPE part number 651687-001 and is suited for environments where maintaining proper drive fitment and serviceability is important. For IT teams managing mixed storage configurations, this tray provides a practical way to mount supported drives in compatible HPE server platforms, including DL360, DL380, and ML350 series systems.
Performance & Scalability
In server deployments, the drive carrier plays an important role in keeping storage hardware accessible and properly seated within the chassis. This hot plug drive carrier is intended for compatible HPE servers that support quick drive replacement and routine maintenance without unnecessary disruption. Because it supports both SAS and SATA HDDs as well as SSDs, it can be used across a range of storage needs, from traditional capacity-focused setups to configurations that rely on solid-state drives. That flexibility makes it useful in systems where storage requirements may change over time. For organizations standardizing on HPE Gen8, Gen9, or Gen10 hardware, having the correct tray caddy helps ensure drives are installed in the intended format and remain ready for service in supported server bays.
Storage Flexibility
This 2.5-inch SFF tray caddy supports both HDD and SSD media, giving administrators more options when building or maintaining server storage. Whether the goal is to replace an existing drive carrier or prepare a compatible drive for installation, the tray helps provide the physical mounting needed for supported SAS and SATA drives. Its compatibility with multiple HPE server generations and select DL360, DL380, and ML350 series platforms makes it a versatile accessory for common enterprise server families. For spare parts inventory, this can simplify support across different systems that share the same drive form factor and tray style.
