SDD Hot Swap tray

thingiverse

This is a specially designed tray for converting a 2.5-inch SDD disk into a 3.5-inch size, tailored for use in SATA Hot Swap bays. The standout feature that distinguishes it from other similar trays available on Thingiverse is its precisely calibrated connectors to match exactly the positioning of those found on a standard 3.5-inch disk, thereby ensuring compatibility with hot swap capabilities. However, due to this carefully designed configuration, users will find that their 2.5-inch disks can only be securely fastened via screws to one side of the tray, leaving the opposing side available for holding it firmly in place using an optional piece of duct tape if necessary. In order to conserve filament and maintain optimal compatibility with 3.5-inch disk trays, the new design comes in slightly lower profile dimensions but its complete CAD file is included for those looking to modify its height, streamlining the conversion process.
