UNSOLVED
3620 Drive Caddy needed.
I have Dell Precision 3620 and I want to add an extra Drive to the machine. The current HDD caddy/cage already has two drives installed.
I noticed that there are brackets attached to and below the Optical Drive cage which look like they could support a drive cage. If so what would it be called and does anyone know the part number for it?
I have an HBA card which supports both SAS and SATA drives.
See my picture attached.
Thanks in advance.

BTW For your Information, The brackets do not support any kind of cage. I figured it out.

You can utilize your optical bays with adapters for HDD.

@Chino de Oro Those bays are already full.

@redxps630 I had one of those in a 9020, but I removed it to use the space for an HDD.

I have solved it and now have 4 HDDs and 2 SSDs installed. I cannot use swappable drives because I need the drives available 24x7 and am phasing out, for the most part, external USB drives.

There's adapter cages that'll hold one 3.5" drive and a 2.5" drive in one optical drive bay. Is that what you're using? Also adapters that'll hold two 2.5" drives in one HDD bay.
