About this product
This unbranded HDD drive caddy adapter, MPN 654540-001, facilitates the conversion of a 2.5-inch SAS or SATA SSD/HDD to fit into a 3.5-inch bay. It's a drive enclosure and dock type component designed for HP systems, allowing smaller drives to be securely installed in larger form factor slots. This adapter is essential for upgrading or repurposing existing drives in systems that only support 3.5-inch drive bays, offering broad compatibility with both SAS and SATA interfaces.
Our take
This HDD caddy adapter is a handy piece of kit for anyone looking to install a 2.5-inch drive into a 3.5-inch bay, especially in an HP system. The compatibility with both SAS and SATA interfaces means it's versatile for various SSDs and traditional hard drives. Its unbranded nature might give some pause, but for a simple adapter, the MPN being mentioned suggests it's a known solution. The ability to use smaller, often faster, 2.5-inch drives in larger desktop bays is a great way to maximize hardware usage and potentially improve performance in older systems. It's a functional, affordable solution.
