Hi,

Anyone aware of a small (about 4) drive bay that accept MCP-220-00075-0B (Gen 5.5) drive trays?

My needs:
I'm looking at building a new server, and none of the SM standard cases fit my needs, as I want 3U or 4U, 4 to 6 3.5" HDD, and < 480mm depth. SM does not have that AFAIK. So I'm looking at third party cases.
But I would like to keep the possibility to freely swap out disks with my other servers, that all use MCP-220-00075-0B (Gen 5.5). I also have a nice surplus of those trays.
Why the 3U to 4U? Because I want some space for PCIe boards and U.2 disks. SC825M risks getting crowded.

So if anywhere possible, I'd like to find a small 3.5" SAS/SATA drive bay that will accept those trays, and can be placed in a 3rd party rack.
I know about CSE-M35T, but AFAIK that is not compatible with the trays I mentioned.
