Dell Servers Hard Drive Tray Caddy
Are Dell Servers Hard Drive Tray Caddys interchangable ?
Specifically:
Hard drive caddy where it's written SATA - will they report correctly when using SAS drives in them?
Hard drive caddy where it's written PCIE - will they report correctly when using SAS drives in them?
Thanks !

Hello thanks for choosing Dell. I have to say
depending on the server model you are using and the drive guide (tray).

Hi @RonyEco,
Usually caddies do not have any component communication with the backplane and will not have any effect in the system. It only has external visual identification impact.

I agree with Joey so I wouldn't think it would be a problem.
