EDGE 3.5" Drive Bay Adapter

The EDGE drive bay adapter adds a single internal 3.5" expansion bay to compatible Dell servers. It supports both Serial ATA and SAS drive interfaces. The unit is supplied new with a three-year limited warranty.

Compatibility and Limitations

This adapter fits Dell PowerEdge R730, PowerEdge R730xd, PowerVault MD1400 and PowerVault MD3400 systems. Builders needing additional bays beyond the single slot provided should consider other solutions. It does not support 2.5" drives or external enclosures.

Single 3.5" Bay Capacity

The adapter provides exactly one 3.5" bay, so storage expansion is limited to a single drive. Verify that your server chassis has an available internal 3.5" slot before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will this adapter let me keep using my 3.5" SAS drives in a PowerEdge R730?

Yes, it provides one internal 3.5" bay that accepts Serial ATA or SAS drives and is listed as compatible with the PowerEdge R730 and R730xd.

How can I confirm the drive is recognised after I install the adapter?

The drive should appear in the system BIOS or RAID controller interface during POST and be visible in the operating system disk management once the server boots.

Does the package include mounting screws or a drive tray, or must I order them separately?

The adapter is the bay insert itself; any screws, caddies or trays required to secure the drive inside the bay are not included and must be sourced separately.
