Design:

  • for 4x 2.5 HDD/SSD
  • HOT SWAP is possible. I really wanted that feature and couldn't find it anywhere on printable/makerworld
  • maximum airflow
  • yes, SATA connectors face/screw holes are angled in purpose; to keep the connection as parallels as possible with the SSD/HDD connector

pro tip: When screwing the SATA connectors: let them have a fair bit of wiggle, don't fix them tight. The wiggle will account for the last 0.5mm of potential misalignment between connector and SSD/HDD. Perfect fit guarantee.

Print:

  • No support ! Print face down see picture.
  • Tolerance are quite tight, make sure to take your time to print it (I used 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layers)

Other Material:

I use those refurbished caddy from Aliexpress:

keywords:

  • “NEW 08FKXC 2.5'' SAS SATA Server Tray Caddy for Dell PowerEdge R730 R630 T640 T630 HARD DRIVE Bracket 8FKXC”
  • "2 PCS NEW 2Pcs/Lot 08FKXC 2.5'' SAS SATA Server Tray Caddy for Dell PowerEdge R730 R630 T640 T630 HDD Bracket Drawer 8FKXC G176J"

2pack tray sells for about 7eur:

  • here in Aliexpress or
  • here in Aliexpress too 

For the Hot swappable connection:

I used those:

keywords: SATA Male To Female Power Data Converter 22Pin 7+15 Male To Female SATA To SATA Converter SATA To SATA Adapter

Currently 5eur for 5: 

 

Hope it helps !
