Existing drive cages often require more rack depth. Many designs are incompatible with short HP-style caddies. This module maximizes storage capacity while remaining compact. Ideal for building modular storage systems in 10-inch racks. Perfect to add drives without insufficient power issues.

To mount all drives you will need: 8 HP Gen8/Gen9 compatible 2.5" drive caddies (original or my printable version) 8 SATA/SAS adapters 16 M3×8 mm screws (or similar) for mounting the adapters The drives simply slide into the module, providing a clean, compact and modular storage solution for your homelab.
