Impossible to Purchase Hard Drive Carriers?

[Jeffrey Wilkinson]

ProLiant DL320 G4 -- I'm being told there is no way to order hard drive carriers for this server without buying the whole hard drive, which we do not need. We only need the carrier itself.

Can anybody clue me in on the truth? (and hopefully, an HP Replacement Part number) Is ordering this simple assembly-- which we know exists, because HP uses them by the thousands-- really impossible?

Thanks in advance....

If it is a SATA disk, spare part is 373211-001, not sure if it is ok for SCSI too

THANK YOU! According to (no less than) 4 people I spoke with, this part number does not exist.

Yes, drive is non-hot-plug SATA.

Do the hot-swap SATA disks use the same carrier?

Also, do you know the part# for the hot swap SCSI carrier, in case we need them as well?

According to this thread...

... that part number fits an ML150. Do you know for sure if it's interchangable with the DL320 G4?

I used it in DL360 G4p

Excellent! I found it in the HP PartSurfer for $18 (min qty 4) so I am thrilled. Thank you for the part# reference!
