Based on an r210 II I'm currently doing up

Orico HB-325 3.5 to 2.5 inch Hard Drive Caddy - don't even bother. Could be useful in a CRU sled, but I don't have a dell one to hand.
SilverStone SDP08B 3.5" to 2 x 2.5" Drive Bay Converter Getting better, but all four screws don't align in the dell caddy
SilverStone SDP08B, 3.5" to 3 x 2.5" Drive Bay Converter Absolutely perfect.

random info I thought may be useful to others

As a practical matter, the only real need is to make sure there isn't too much stress on the cables. Tape, Velcro, a bit of cardboard, etc are all valid approaches. Temperature could be a concern, but probably not
