HP ProLiant Gen8 DL380P Drive Caddy

This 2.5 SFF tray replaces HP part 651687001 and fits Gen8 DL380P servers. It accepts SAS and SATA hard drives or solid-state drives for storage expansion or RAID maintenance. The metal construction secures the drive and maintains a stable data connection. IT teams use it for spare-drive deployment and routine server upkeep.

Upgrade from missing or damaged trays

A replacement is needed when an original caddy is lost, bent or has a faulty latch. The jump is worth it when a server bay sits empty or a drive cannot lock into place. It also helps when adding drives to grow a RAID array or swapping a failed disk without downtime. No adapter or converter is required for supported drives.

Tool-free slide-in installation

The tray slides into the hot-plug bay until the latch clicks, with no screws or cables to attach. What usually goes wrong is forcing the carrier when the latch is misaligned or inserting a drive thicker than 2.5 SFF. A bent latch tab or debris in the bay rails can also prevent a clean lock. Gentle pressure and a visual check avoid most issues.

Questions about this item

Does this 651687001 caddy fit the 2.5-inch drive bays in an HP ProLiant Gen8 DL380P server?

Yes, it is a direct replacement for HP part 651687001 and matches the Gen8 DL380P drive bay dimensions exactly.

How do I install a drive into this tray and what is the common mistake?

Slide the 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive into the tray, secure it with the four side screws, then insert the assembly until the latch clicks; the step often missed is tightening all four screws so the drive cannot shift.

Will the metal tray or latch need replacement after repeated drive swaps?

The enterprise-grade metal construction is built for long-term use; only the drive itself typically needs replacement later.
