2.5" SAS SATA Tray Caddy - Review

As an IT professional, I know firsthand how important it is to have high-quality equipment in your server room. A key component of any server is the caddy tray that holds the hard drives. That's why I was excited to try out the 2.5" SAS SATA Tray Caddy for HP 378343-002 DL380 DL360 G6 DL360 DL580 DL585 DL785 G5 BL20p DL380 DL580 ML570 G4 DL385 G5p DL360 G4p from Heretom.

First and foremost, I was pleased to see that this caddy tray is compatible with a wide variety of HP server models including the DL380, DL360 G6, DL360 G4p, and more. This makes it a versatile option for those with multiple servers in their infrastructure.

The installation process was relatively simple and straightforward. The caddy tray came with four screws, and I had no trouble securing it in place in my server. The hard drives fit snugly in the tray, and I never had any concerns about them becoming dislodged or loose.

One important consideration for any server equipment is durability. In this regard, I have mixed feelings about the Heretom caddy tray. On the one hand, it felt fairly solid and well-constructed. On the other hand, some of the plastic components felt a bit flimsy and cheap. Given the affordable price point of this tray, I wasn't entirely surprised by this, but it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a more heavy-duty option.

In terms of performance, I had no issues with the caddy tray. The hard drives functioned as expected, and I never experienced any data loss or other problems. I did notice that the tray tended to get fairly hot during operation, but this didn't seem to impact performance in any way.

Finally, let's talk about the price. At the time of writing, the Heretom caddy tray is priced at a reasonable level compared to other similar products on the market. For those on a tight budget, this could be a great option. That being said, if you have more money to spend and prioritize durability and longevity, you may want to consider a more expensive option.

In conclusion, the 2.5" SAS SATA Tray Caddy for HP 378343-002 DL380 DL360 G6 DL360 DL580 DL585 DL785 G5 BL20p DL380 DL580 ML570 G4 DL385 G5p DL360 G4p from Heretom is a solid option for those in need of a versatile, affordable caddy tray. While there are some concerns about durability and construction, it performed well during my testing and should meet the needs of most users. Overall, I would give this caddy tray a 3.9 out of 5 stars based on my experience.
