I am trying to mount 2 x 3.5in hard drives in the front facing 5.25in bays. It seems that the bays are made for a caddy with "studs" on the sides so the caddy can slide into the computer. None of the caddies I find online have studs. I would appreciate any help finding a vendor with this type of caddy or the part number of such a caddy for an HP Z440. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the quick reply. The Z440 has 2 drive areas. The 3.5" area, for which your link found the appropriate caddy, and the 5.25" area. I'm looking for a caddy which fits the latter. The 5.25" area is build to for an easy release, pull-out/slide, caddy. This caddy will have "studs", shaped like a cylindrical "T" on the side which fit into tracks in the bay. There don't seem to be any on EBay. I'm wondering if someone in the forum knows of a different vendor or would be willing sell 1 they are not using.
Thanks!
