## Summary description

The Chieftec CMR-225 is a black carrier panel made of durable metal. It measures 112 mm in width, 137 mm in depth, and 26 mm in height. This panel includes SATA cables, ensuring easy connectivity for your drives. Ideal for enhancing your computer's storage capabilities, it offers a sleek design and reliable performance.

## Long description

The Chieftec CMR-225 carrier panel converts a single 3.5" external bay into space for two 2.5" SATA drives (HDD or SSD) with heights from 7 mm to 9.5 mm. Constructed from metal and finished in black, the tray includes SATA cables for power and data connection. Power is supplied via the SATA interface and drive trays are detachable to simplify installation. The unit supports hot-swap operation and provides LEDs for power and drive activity. A lockable design and included key add physical security for installed drives.
Advantages
The CMR-225 offers a compact solution to add two 2.5" drives using a single 3.5" bay while maintaining full SATA I/II/III compatibility. Detachable trays and plug-and-play connectivity reduce installation time, and hot-swap support enables drive replacement without powering down the system. The all-metal, lockable construction increases durability and physical protection for stored data.
Suitable for
Expanding laptop-style 2.5" HDD/SSD capacity in desktop PCs
Systems requiring hot-swappable storage
Backup storage and RAID testing in workstations or servers
