Does anyone know if the 2.5" SAS Dell Hotswap caddys from the new R610's are compatible with those from the 1950's.

They are listed as seperate part numbers, but I am unsure if they are physically compatible and dell just spin the line of "buy the specific ones".

You want to put a 1950's hard drive into your Dell??? That thing will never fit in!! They used to have to use a fork lift!

1950's IBM hard drive

Well technically it's a 1960's hard drive.

I don't have any R610, but the caddies for the R710 are very different from the ones for the 1950/2950

I was going to say the exact same thing. I have some R610s, but I don't have any 1950s with 2.5" drives. I suspect they are not compatible. – Chad Huneycutt Aug 10 '09 at 14:51

They might look different but thats about it. I just swapped drives from the two machines and installed fine.

The 1950 and the R's are different generation servers, there might be quite a difference, but I might be mistaken.
