Carrier panel Fantec MR-25 8.89 cm (3.5 inch)

The Fantec MR-25 8.89 cm (3.5") carrier panel is a compact mounting solution for 3.5" drives. Finished in black, the carrier offers a width of 101 mm, depth of 146 mm and a height of 25 mm, providing a slim and space-efficient profile for integration into desktop enclosures or storage racks. The panel is intended to hold and align drives securely while allowing easy connection to existing drive bays and cabling.

Advantages

The carrier panel combines a compact form factor with straightforward installation, reducing the space required by a standard 3.5" mounting option. Its rigid construction maintains drive alignment and supports stable mounting, while the black finish helps it match most internal chassis aesthetics. The precise dimensions ensure compatibility with common drive bay layouts and contribute to a neat internal arrangement of storage devices.

Suitable for

• Adding a 3.5" hard drive to a desktop PC or server chassis
• Upgrading internal storage in workstations and home computers
• Organizing multiple drives in compact storage enclosures
• Replacing damaged or missing drive mounting panels

How to use

Place the 3.5" drive into the carrier panel, aligning the drive's screw holes with the panel's mounting points. Secure the drive using appropriate mounting screws through the panel into the drive. Slide or position the fitted carrier into the target drive bay within the chassis and fasten it according to the chassis mounting method (screws or tool-less clips). Connect the drive's power and data cables to the corresponding connectors on the motherboard or controller.

Recommendations

Handle the drive and carrier with care to avoid static discharge or mechanical shock. Use the correct screw size to prevent thread damage. Verify clearances in the target chassis before installation to ensure the carrier's 25 mm height and other dimensions fit the available bay space.
