OEM replacement caddy for HP ProLiant G5/G6/G7

This two-pack replaces HP part numbers 500223001 and 500223002 for plug-and-play installation in ProLiant DL380, DL360, DL580, BL460c, ML350, ML370 and ML570 servers. It accepts 2.5-inch SAS and SATA drives, making it suitable for administrators expanding storage capacity or building RAID arrays in supported rack, tower and blade platforms.

Sustained operation in multi-drive arrays

The metal construction keeps each drive firmly seated during continuous read and write cycles typical of RAID rebuilds, backup windows and database workloads. Secure mounting prevents vibration-induced errors that can degrade throughput over long periods in densely populated chassis.

Rugged metal frame for datacenter use

Heavy-duty brackets resist bending during repeated insertion and removal, preserving alignment with the server backplane. The exact OEM dimensions ensure the ejector lever and latch engage correctly, so drives lock in place without forcing the carrier or damaging the connector.

Questions about this item

Does the metal caddy add noticeable heat or noise when drives run continuously in a DL380?

The caddy is a passive metal bracket with no moving parts, so it generates no noise and adds no measurable heat beyond the drive itself.

What drive interface and form factor must I already have for this bracket to work?

You need 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs; the tray accepts only that size and interface.

Will the tray fit the same drive bays on my older G5 and newer G7 ProLiant servers?

Yes, it matches HP part numbers 500223001 and 500223002, which cover G5, G6 and G7 models including DL360, DL380, DL580, BL460c, ML350, ML370 and ML570.
