Dedicated HPE MSA Compatibility

This tray caddy is built exclusively for HPE MSA 1050, 2050 and 2052 SAN storage enclosures. It accepts 2.5 inch SFF SAS and SATA hard drives or solid state drives. The metal construction secures each drive and maintains consistent signal transmission in data centre environments.

Replaces Worn or Missing OEM Trays

Use this caddy when an original carrier is damaged, lost or when adding new drives to an existing array. The jump is worth it whenever a spare slot must be populated quickly for RAID expansion or routine hardware refreshes without sourcing discontinued OEM parts.

Tool-Less Drive Mounting

Drives slide into the tray and lock in place without screws, so installation takes seconds per bay. The only common issue is inserting a drive upside down, which prevents the latch from engaging and leaves the drive unseated.

Questions about this item

Will this tray fit the drive bays of an HPE MSA 2052?

Yes, it is engineered for the 2.5 inch SFF bays in HPE MSA 1050, 2050 and 2052 enclosures.

How do I install a drive into this caddy, and what step is often missed?

Secure the 2.5 inch SAS or SATA drive with the supplied screws, then slide the assembly into the bay until the latch clicks; the click is the step many skip.

When should I replace this tray during routine storage maintenance?

Replace it if the metal frame bends, the latch fails to lock, or the SAS/SATA connector pins show wear that causes intermittent drive detection.
