I have it on my C7-box. 
It's called "Disks" and is in the menu Applications - Utilities.

yes, I  have that too, and it works. But I don't know if it is a Mate
utility, or a Gnome utility. it isn't obvious to me.

doing "yum list installed" shows a couple of items that it could be,
but
I don't see anything named "disks" or including "disk"
that also has
the word Mate in its package name, so it may be from Gnome, or elsewhere.

You can load it from the command line as gnome-disks.

Since it works fine under Mate, at least for me, there's no reason not to
use it.

I use it for formatting flash drives.
