Hard drive question

Mike,

I don't know its name, but neither Dell nor 3rd party parts sellers will sell it
separately from an entire drive tray kit.

http://www.parts-people.com/ had a similar kit for a Latitude C810 that I was
refurbishing. Cost me less than $12.50 including shipping. Dell's spare parts
quoted me $15 (no mention of shipping costs at the time), but did not have the
drive tray kits in stock... Ben Myers
