[Cialug] SOT: Sun spud drive tray adapter for SSDs?

[Jonathan C. Bailey]

No problem. We've used the ICYDock adapters before, but they always seem to fail with odd "electrical" issues.

It's an expensive piece of metal, but it just works and doesn't add another point of failure.

That looks like just the thing I was imagining that *somebody* had to be making.

I have the drive sleds so that should do the trick.

Thanks for the pointer!

I assume you have the brackets for normal 3.5" drives (I assume so)?

If so, try the adapter below. We use it for SSDs in some of our Supermicro boxes with 3.5" sleds..

I have a Sun machine I would like to switch to using an SSD in.  It uses the Sun spud drive trays for SATA.  Right now I have the SSD plugged directly into the backplane and it feels a little 'dangerous'.  This appeal is to those with more Sun hardware experience than me.

Is there an adapter for SSDs particularly for these drive sleds?  
Does any other manufacturer use identical drive sleds to the Sun Spud?

I'm probably going to end up getting a  very short right-angle SATA cable and adapt to the backplane using that if I can't locate some kind of adapter.

Thanks for any pointers or other adaptation techniques.
