{"product_id":"dell-r740xd-rear-2-bay-3-5-drive-cage-and-backplane-kit","title":"Dell R740XD Rear 2-Bay 3.5\" Drive Cage and Backplane Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rear Hard Drive Bays kit for the Dell PowerEdge R740XD adds two 3.5-inch drive positions to the back of the chassis, giving administrators a way to expand internal storage without sacrificing front-bay capacity. Bundling the backplane (part 0YWTC2) with the physical drive cage (part 0W6W09), it accommodates either 3.5-inch hard drives or SSDs, making it a flexible option for capacity growth, dedicated OS volumes, or hot-spare placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this assembly is engineered specifically for the R740XD platform, it slots into the rear enclosure the server was designed to accept, keeping cabling and airflow within the manufacturer's intended layout. The two additional bays are well suited to scenarios where the front backplane is already fully populated and a technician needs a couple more spindles online.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a component-level part rather than a consumer product, this kit assumes familiarity with rack server internals. Buyers should confirm their R740XD configuration supports the rear-bay option and verify the 0YWTC2 and 0W6W09 part numbers against their existing hardware before ordering. For data center operators standardizing on the R740XD, it offers a straightforward path to squeezing more drives into an existing 2U footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Generic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53757745922355,"sku":null,"price":251.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/studio-supplies.com\/products\/dell-r740xd-rear-2-bay-3-5-drive-cage-and-backplane-kit","provider":"Studio Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
