Drive Bay
-
My DELL PowerEdge server has a 2.5-inch Drive Bay
-
I have checked the DELL PowerEdge mode compatibility sheet
-
My DELL PowerEdge server has a Hot-Plug backplane
-
I want to add a small 2.5-inch Hard Drive to my DELL PowerEdge server
Drive Bay
The same server model is delivered with two different drive bay sizes. Verify whether your server model has a smaller 3-inch / 7.7 cm drive bay size for 2.5-inch hard drives.
