Hello, 

Your only chance is reaching out to the Dell parts department. If you don`t have the bracket , you also don`t have the power cable for the SSD/HDD/ODD.

Look at this topic, it will include all the Dell part number you need and also inclodes some workarounds for mounting and connecting devices.

I have the same problem with a Dell ECT1250 missing the drive bay.  Prior to making my purchase, I confirmed with the Dell Virtual Assistant that the ECT1250 came with the hardware & cables for an HDD.  I even have a transcript showing that the ECT1250 is supposed to come with the necessary hardware & cable for connecting an HDD.  Unfortunately, the computer showed up without either.  Dell said they would issue a credit, but I would rather have the drive bay and cable

Hi all,

Please check this caddy, it should work for all 3.5-inch HDD.
