DL380 Gen10's LFF hard drive caddy

[risabeast]

I'm looking for the part number for the 3.5" hard drive caddy for this server.

I have a hard time find the item.

Can someone please help?

Thanks

Greetings!

Please let us know the spare part number of the drive being used - the one mentioned in front of the drive where the LEDs are present.

I need help to find that number. I have the server without any hard drive caddy/tray and would like to order some.

I am sorry but this is a little confusing. 

1. Are you looking for only the Hard drive caddies or the Hard drive with caddy?

2. What is the server purchased?

Attached is the picture of a Hard drive caddy and Hard drive with Caddy. 

Is this what you are requesting for?

Because hard drive caddy/tray is unclear.

1. Hard drive caddy. No hard drive. I have hard drive already.

2. DL380 G10 LFF

Alright. 

a. Since you have the Hard drive with you, could you share the spare part number which will be available on the label in front of the drive?

I have attached a picture for your reference.

b. Any reason why the Smart Carrier drives were not bought for these servers as those are the compatible ones?

Thanks for the reply.

We bought 3.5" hard drives only from our vendor because of the cost of the HP drive + smart carrier are way too high. I hope you understand that part.

Anyway, i found this number from HPE PartSuffer:

This doesn't actually resolve my original question. I would like to buy the smart carrier alone WITHOUT the hard drive. I just feel bad that after spending couple thousands on the server but you can't buy the part you need unless you buy the whole set from HP.

HPE has never offered the hot plug drive carriers as an option part.  Non hot-plug and Apollo carriers are not the same as the Gen8 - Gen10 Hot-Plug carriers. I have seen some interesting ones out in the wild though, some even have an adapter for using SFF drives in LFF bays
