About Caddy

Drive caddies hold SAS/SATA/NVMe drives in hot-swap backplane bays. The Caddy is a chassis-keyed mechanical carrier that varies by OEM and even by generation within the same OEM.

Cross-referencing guidance

Caddies are NOT interchangeable across brands. Dell 13G caddies do not fit 14G chassis; HPE Smart Carrier (Gen10+) replaced the legacy Smart Drive carrier. ICD stocks caddies for Dell PowerEdge 12G-17G, HPE ProLiant Gen8-Gen11, Lenovo SR-series, Cisco UCS C-series, and Supermicro chassis.
