SMUGDESK 3.5" SAS SATA Hard Drive Tray Caddy for Dell PowerEdge R515

SKU CH-H2WD-NYD11

A 3.5 inch SAS SATA hard drive tray caddy built for Dell PowerEdge R515 servers

  • Designed for Dell PowerEdge R515 servers
  • Accepts 3.5" SAS and SATA hard drives
  • Metal construction secures drives firmly
  • Direct replacement tray installs without modifications
  • Supports RAID expansion and storage upgrades

Perfect Fit for R515

This 3.5-inch tray caddy is custom-designed for the Dell PowerEdge R515 server. It accepts both SAS and SATA hard drives and provides a secure, enterprise-grade metal mounting platform. The unit is a direct replacement for a damaged or missing original tray.

Replaces Damaged or Missing Trays

Use this caddy when an original tray is broken, lost or when adding extra drives to expand storage capacity. The jump is worth it whenever a bay is empty or an existing carrier no longer holds a drive firmly. It supports RAID expansion and routine server maintenance without modification.

Simple Plug-and-Play Install

Slide a compatible 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drive into the tray, secure it with the included screws and insert the assembly into the server bay until it locks. The most common issue is forgetting to fasten the drive screws, which can cause vibration or connection errors. Ensure the tray clicks fully into the backplane for reliable data contact.

Questions about this item

Will this tray fit the drive bays in a Dell PowerEdge R515?

Yes, it is custom-designed exclusively for the Dell PowerEdge R515 server and matches the 3.5-inch drive bay dimensions.

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

Slide a 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drive into the tray, secure it with the supplied screws, then insert the assembly until the latch clicks; the step often missed is fully tightening the drive screws before insertion.

When should I replace this tray or its hardware?

Replace the tray if the metal frame bends, the latch fails to lock, or the connector pins show corrosion; also swap the mounting screws if their threads strip during repeated drive swaps.
