Tower Plus EBT2250, 2.5" hard drive in 3.5" slot
Hi all,
I am trying to install a 2TB SATA from my old all in one PC as a second hard drive. This is a 2.5" drive but the caddy in the new PC fits 3.5" drives.
The manual states to use a 2.5" carrier (so s/shot below) but Dell don't appear to sell these.
There are a variety of caddies on eBay etc., but which is the correct one that will fit? Either a 2.5 to 3.5 adaptor or a 2.5 carrier that will fit?
No Events found!

If your system already have 3.5" drive caddy, you may consider ORICO 2.5 to 3.5 caddy. It has the same size and shape of a 3.5 HDD.

Couldn't get one from Dell but the suggested Orico caddy worked well.
