You can always put a 2.5" drive in a 3.5" adapter, but many modern servers are designed specifically for 2.5" drives, especially servers using SAS. example, note the two servers on the top of the closer rack. https://pierce.smugmug.com/By-Date/2012/2012-02-09/i-8WfCvLJ/0/X3/IMG_0318-X3.jpg those are HP DL180g6, each holds 25 2.5" SAS hotswap drives in a 2U form factor. I *do* recommend getting 'enterprise' grade SSDs that have 'supercaps' to ensure they can flush their write buffers on a power failure. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
