HP DX175 Spare Carrier for Z Workstations

The HP DX175 is a removable drive-bay adapter built for HP Z4 G4, Z4 G6 and Z4 G8 workstations. It provides a single expansion bay so IT teams can swap hard drives or solid-state drives without tools. The carrier ships new and weighs approximately 15.87 oz.

Steel frame withstands repeated hot-swap cycles

A 1.6-inch by 5.8-inch by 8.1-inch steel chassis slides into the front-access bay and locks with a built-in latch. The rigid construction keeps the drive aligned during continuous insertions and removals in multi-shift environments. No moving rails or plastic clips are present to fatigue under sustained use.

Replaces lost or damaged original carriers

This spare carrier restores hot-swap capability when the factory-supplied caddy is missing or bent. The jump is worth it whenever a workstation must return to tool-less drive changes for maintenance windows or forensic imaging workflows.

Questions about this item

Does the DX175 carrier add noticeable noise or heat when the workstation runs continuously?

The carrier is a passive metal tray with no fan or electronics, so it adds no audible noise or measurable heat beyond the drive installed inside it.

Which workstation models must I already own for this DX175 carrier to fit?

It is compatible with HP Z4 G4, Z4 G6 and Z4 G8 series workstations that accept a removable drive bay adapter.

Will the DX175 carrier work alongside the original drive bay already installed in my Z4 G4?

Yes, the carrier occupies one 5.25-inch front bay and operates independently of any existing bay, letting you hot-swap a second drive.
