Important Compatibility / Caddy Note: These drives currently ship with Dell 12G/13G 2.5-inch SFF caddies. For Dell 14G, 15G, and 16G PowerEdge servers, the drive itself may be compatible, but an appropriate G14/G15/G16 drive caddy may be required.
For servers configured with 3.5-inch LFF drive bays, a compatible 3.5-inch adapter/hybrid caddy may be required for installation.
