I am looking for the model number(s) for the hot swap Hard drive caddies that can be used with the HP MDS600 drive array. I may then use these model numbers to purchase the caddies so I may attach several SATA drives that I already have with me.

HP does not sell the caddies separately, just the drive kits. So they don't have their own part number. Your best bet would be buying them off ebay. You can use any spare drive kit P/N from MDS600 manual + "(tray, sled, caddy, carrier, bracket)" for the search query.
Before buying any extra caddies I would recommend trying the drives you want to add to your storage with the caddies from your existing drives. I do not have first-hand experience with MDS600 but other StorageWorks systems I worked with would not accept any non-HP branded drives (i.e. the system checks drives' model numbers and rejects them if they are not on the approved list).
