The 3.5" drive bay for Double 2U storage systems is a dedicated mounting solution for standard 3.5-inch hard drives in compatible 2U enclosures. It is intended for environments where storage density, mechanical stability and easy service access are critical.
The drive bay provides a defined physical slot for a 3.5" disk, helping to maintain orderly cable routing and consistent airflow patterns within the chassis. By using a dedicated bay instead of improvised mounting, the risk of mechanical stress on connectors and vibration-related issues is reduced.
This drive bay is suitable for use in storage servers, backup appliances and other rack-mounted systems that rely on 3.5" drives and are built in a compatible double 2U chassis. It is aimed at integrators and administrators who need a dedicated physical slot for drives without changing the existing enclosure structure.
Before deployment, verify mechanical and mounting compatibility with the specific storage system model, including chassis layout and supported drive formats.
