About this product
This unbranded 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch adapter, MPN 654540-001, is designed to mount smaller SAS or SATA SSDs and HDDs into larger 3.5-inch drive bays. It's specifically compatible with various HP models, including N54L, N40L, and N36, making it suitable for upgrading storage in servers or workstations. This drive enclosure allows for flexible integration of modern 2.5-inch drives into systems that traditionally utilize 3.5-inch form factors.
Our take
If you need to fit a 2.5-inch SSD or HDD into an HP system requiring a 3.5-inch bay, this adapter provides the necessary form factor conversion. It handles both SAS and SATA interfaces, which is excellent for compatibility with a wide range of drives. The specific mention of N54L, N40L, N36 compatibility is helpful for HP users. However, the price is quite steep for what is essentially a passive drive tray. You're paying for the specific form factor and compatibility.
