Where in the world are you?I wish I could find this Supermicro MCP-220-84606-0N Rear Side Dual 2.5
cheap
I have the same chassis, but since I am modding it badly I can cut out the space for it.
You can have mine for the freight, I've no use for it.
From what I understand, that's the straight 846 (although I could be wrong). The SC846 manual has a table listing drive options for the "B" and "non B" versions. Non-B, optical drive, B, 2.5" drive kit.
However, if you've got an expansion back or two free, you can pick up a couple 2,5" hot swap bays that fit in a PCI bay. Either straight into an expansion port, or with a SATA power and data socket on the back. I've just plumped for some cheap internal PCI mounts for now - screw the drive to the mount, put the mount into an expansion slot. Having put a thinner motherboard, I've got two spare expansion sockets. I've only done this because the official internal drive mounts were silly money for me (in the UK).
I got the SQ power supply, and it's not looking great. It fits, and I get motherboard lights. I can connect to the IPMI interface and trigger a power on, but nothing seems to happen. Going to contact SM support and look into it over the weekend.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the second page of comments explaining the drive options...
Yeah okay, that's a little far away, it'd probably be cheaper to find the parts on ebay. :/I am in US, New Jersey North
If you've got any expansion ports free, you could get a couple of these (or similar) fairly cheaply...it was a good offer though

I have a couple of this, but I do not have open slots to put them.
I put in one and the second is taped to the wall of the case inside, kind of defeating the purpose

I know the feeling. I don't suppose anybody's fashioned a mounting shelf to go above the expansion ports (where there's a grill?
well there is a space between PSU and MB, in 846A like mine it fits the optical drive, in 846B it should fit either optical drive or the 2.5 bay. since I need to mod it anyway I figured I could tinker and squeeze the 2.5 drive bay in there. I had bought the dual bay from local MicroCenter , but it it one designed for 3.5 bay fit. it is wider/toler in comparison to original supermicro

You can use 2 of these to add up to 4 drives internally in an 846 chassis.

Well, that didn't work. I get a yellow light on the PSU (not sure whether that's its normal colour), lights on the mobo and access to the IPMI. No fans spin (including the PSU fan). Triggering power up/cycle on the IPMI does nothing.
Can't think there are any settings, so I've either picked up a dud or the PDB doesn't work with the SQ (despite Supermicro saying it does).
Anybody got any ideas to try?
