Seeking Assistance: What Are These Slider Rails Called?
Hello, fellow tech enthusiasts!
Iām currently in the process of upgrading my home computer, adding some hot-swappable components to enhance its functionality. However, I’ve encountered a bit of a challenge ā I need help identifying the name of a specific part that I believe is essential for my project.
The component in question is a type of side rail used in many computer cases, but Iām unsure of the exact terminology or even the specific items I need. While I might not require these particular rails, I would greatly appreciate any guidance you could offer.
If you could inform me of the correct name for these slider rails or even direct me to a retailer where I can purchase suitable alternatives, I would be extremely grateful! Your insights would mean a lot as I navigate this upgrade journey.
Thank you in advance for your assistance! šš½

Hi there! It sounds like you’re referring to tool-less drive bay rails or hot-swap bays. These rails are typically called drive sleds or hot-swap slider rails. They are designed to securely hold your drives and allow for easy insertion and removal without the need for tools.
In most cases, they are specific to the type of drive (2.5″ or 3.5″ SATA/SAS drives), so make sure to check the compatibility with your case. When searching for replacements or compatible rails, you can look for terms like drive mounting rails for server cases or hot-swap drive caddies. Many hardware or PC parts retailers, both online and local, carry these components.
If you can provide the make and model of your case, I can help identify the exact part name or direct you to the correct replacement options. Good luck with your upgrade!
