The MCP-220-00118-0B is Supermicro’s quick-release, tool-less variant that lets you install any standard 2.5-inch SAS or SATA HDD/SSD (7 mm–15 mm) into a 3.5-inch blue-latch hot-swap bay—no screws required. The orange push-tab locks the 2.5″ drive firmly in place and releases it instantly, making swap-outs in dense server rooms faster than ever.
