Adaptador para disco rígido Dell PowerEdge 9W8C4 adaptador de 3,5 para 2,5 polegadas

9W8C4 Dell 2.5 to 3.5 R/T-Series Tray Adapter. This Dell PowerEdge adapter allows installation of a 2.5-inch SAS/SATA HDD or SSD into a 3.5-inch hot-swap drive tray without modifying the drive. It preserves connector alignment and mounting points so 2.5-inch drives can be used in 3.5-inch bays of compatible Dell servers.

Advantages

The adapter maintains correct interface alignment and mechanical fit for Dell PowerEdge drive trays, enabling use of 2.5-inch drives or SSDs in 3.5-inch hot-swap bays. It avoids drive modification, supports both SAS and SATA form factors where supported by the tray, and simplifies upgrade or replacement of storage in existing server configurations.

Suitable for

• Installing a 2.5-inch HDD or SSD into a 3.5-inch hot-swap bay
• Upgrading storage in Dell PowerEdge servers
• Testing smaller form-factor drives in systems with 3.5-inch trays
