In the November 2008 timeframe this new HDD carrier may be included in the server products listed. The new HDD part number is E55728-001. It looks nearly identical to the existing C82439-001 HDD carrier. Photographs of both HDD carriers are provided below to highlight the minor differences between the existing and additional HDD carriers. The top HDD carrier is the new carrier (E55728-001) with the changes highlighted. The new carrier includes a slightly different size/color drive bay screw.

Other cosmetic differences are a slightly rounded front corner edge on the left side (A), a louvered indentation that does not extend as far to the left corner of the driver carrier (B), and a slightly smoother plastic texture on the bezel (C) as shown in the photograph below. The top HDD carrier is the new vendor carrier as shown above. The new HDD part number is E55728-001 and looks nearly identical to the existing C82439-001 HDD carrier.
