Serials go here when they land. The Compute table's Storage column changes

not before — that issue also names the ADRs whose arithmetic the fit makes

- 2× HP 2.5" SFF drive tray, `651687-001`[^Caddy] — bought 2026-09-11, in
transit, quoted to arrive by 2026-09-17 and not here on the morning of it.
The carriers the SM863a pair above needs to sit in `Saruman`'s SFF bays
([#418](https://github.com/Gerrrt/HomeLab/issues/418)). A Gen9 bay holds a
drive only in a tray, so two drives want two trays, and two is what was
bought — worth writing down, because one tray short is one SSD fitted and
one on a shelf.
**This purchase went unrecorded for six days**, which is the omission this
entry exists to close. It was made in the same sitting as the I226 card, the
Exos pair, and the boot disk's bracket and tape, every one of which has had
an entry here since the day it was bought. The roadmap's rule is that a
purchase is written down when the money is spent, so a gap like this is the
rule failing rather than a thing the rule allows. Found on 2026-09-17 while
reading the ProDesk's arrival paperwork for
[#92](https://github.com/Gerrrt/HomeLab/issues/92), which is not a way of
finding purchases that can be relied on.
**Checked on arrival, not assumed:** that they are the Gen8/Gen9 SmartDrive
carrier and not the Gen10 part or the 3.5" LFF one, neither of which fits
this machine; that both arrived; and that each has its screws, since a
carrier without them holds a drive no better than no carrier. `651687-001`
is the listing's part number and not yet the tray's.

**2026-09-17: the trays were bought on 2026-09-11 and are only now written
down.** They were paid for in the same sitting as the I226 card, the Exos pair
and the boot disk's bracket, and unlike every one of those they got no entry in
[`hardware.md`](hardware.md) and no line here. This section's rule is that a
purchase is recorded when the money is spent; six days of silence is that rule
failing, and it was caught by reading a delivery notice for a different issue
rather than by anything this repository does. Nothing here checks the list
against what was actually bought, which is the gap the omission found.

ProDesk, the boot SSD, and the bracket and tape that mount it. All four were
