Good day
I got the wrong caddies for fat twin server. It came with 3.5in caddies. How can I install 2.5 ssds in there without buying new caddies. I tried a simple 2.5 to 3.5 metal peace but won't work. The SATA connector is off set.
Thank you

Supermicro makes adapters. I posted a design I 3D printed that worked well. But parts for normal desktops won't work.

ICY DOCK has some converters that work well too. that come in at about the same price point. It's unfortunate that Supermicro doesn't have their own converter for the Gen 6.5 tray.

If your feeling crafting and have some sled blanks laying around....you might be able to cut them up in a way that you would have a functional sled...not pretty, but i've gotten it to work in the past.

If you have a 3D printer or have a friend who can print one that's your cheapest bet. There are also a plethora of online 3D printing places which you send the stl or dwg files and custom order stuff.

SuperMicro does make their own for some generations.

4th Gen trays: MCP-220-00043-0N
5th Gen trays: MCP-220-00118-0B
