Intel 3.5" Tool Less Hot-Swap Drive Carrier

The Intel FXX35HSCAR2 is a 3.5 inch hot swap drive carrier designed to let you change storage drives quickly without hunting for a screwdriver. Slide it into a compatible Intel chassis, press the latch, and the carrier releases so you can add or replace a drive in moments. If you need to install a 2.5 inch solid state drive, the included mounting screws create a snug, vibration-reducing fit.

This carrier is a practical choice for system builders who refresh servers regularly, data center technicians who manage large drive pools, or home lab enthusiasts who tinker with different operating systems. Because the carrier supports both 3.5 inch hard drives and 2.5 inch SSDs, you can mix high-capacity spinning disks with fast solid state storage in the same rack, balancing cost and performance as your workloads change.

Day-to-day operation stays smooth thanks to sturdy construction that resists flexing when you handle heavier 3.5 inch drives. The secure latch keeps the drive firmly in place, helping maintain consistent airflow and cooling inside the chassis. When a drive fails, the carrier’s tool-free design reduces downtime so critical services come back online sooner.

Whether you are expanding a file server, upgrading a storage array, or preparing a test bench for frequent drive swaps, the Intel FXX35HSCAR2 offers a straightforward way to keep your storage infrastructure adaptable and easy to maintain.

Highlights:

• Fits standard 3.5 inch hot swap drive bays in Intel systems
• Accepts 2.5 inch SSDs with the included mounting screws
• Tool-free latch enables rapid installation and removal
• Durable build provides secure, vibration-controlled drive seating
• Well suited for server upgrades, storage expansions, and lab environments that require frequent drive changes
