GRAUGEAR 5.25" PC Front Panel USB Hub - 10Gbps USB-C Ports, Dual USB 3.0, SD/microSD Card Reader, Audio Ports, Drive Bay Expansion for Desktop (Requires 20-Pin Type-E & 19-Pin USB Header)

I was rebuilding my 6 yr old desktop to get it Win 11 compatible so I thought this would be a nice addition since I was pulling out a DVD drive anyway. Install was a snap, all the cables were easily long enough to reach their respective connectors on the MB and it fit in the bay just fine. Totally plug and play, all ports and card readers work fine. I've not tried the headphone or mic jacks since I don't need them but the audio and mic popped right up in the audio settings. Having the card reader is handy instead of digging out a dongle to read cards. Construction is good, it feels solid. One thing to note is it does need a SATA power connection, I was out of SATA connectors but used a Molex to SATA adapter with no issue. If you want something like this it's a good piece.

Works great for what I wanted.

I should have heeded the other 1 star reviews. I received this and let it sit in my closet in my closet for more than 3 months because I hadn't gotten around to moving my PC mother board to a new case. Installed this device in my new case and it didn't work tested the sata power cable, device was getting power, but the usb ports do absolutely nothing, won't even charge a device, I tested the 3.0 and 3.1 ports on my new case, they work just fine using the same motherboard ports. I found a card in the box claiming a "lifetime" warranty, I got in contact with someone in customer service and they sent me another one and didn't ask for the old one back, it did arrive very quickly, I plugged in the new replacement... Shocker, it didn't work either. I got in contact with them again and told them I did more diagnostic steps on my own to absolutely verify that this device is DOA, I also asked if they could send me a "known good" one, they got back with me asked me for my motherboard make and model, I sent them this 2 days ago as of writing this and they haven't gotten back with me, could be because of the weekend though. I find it astonishing that in 2026 I can't get a USB hub that works... I'll update this if I ever get this issue resolved but I'm past the amazon return window, these will probably end up in garbage as more E-waste.

This actually connected straight to my motherboard. Zero issues. Make sure you have the connects on your motherboard-- otherwise, you'll need to get a SATA powered pcie card. This thing draws pretty good juice. I tried a non-powered PCIe card, and the panel would not pass windows verification. I was taking the PCIe card out when I noticed the type-E connector on my motherboard. The 19 pin was easy. I plugged it straight in, works great. Only downside for me, is, it's a half-sized unit. If you have a "tool-free" bay like I do, you'll not get to use the clips that lock a drive in place, you'll have to use a mounting screw through the guide-rail with a washer to catch. It fit a toothpick through one of the mounting holes--so I used a pretty long screw. It's kinda jank. But, the controller works. Beats the tar out of the AC97 audio my pc once had, also. It's worth it, I just wished I'd realized it was a half-sized unit.

After 17 years, I had to rebuild my ATX PC Tower again to get Windows 11 in there. I now have the ASUS B660 motherboard which provides the USB 3.2 Gen 1 header and also the Type-C header, plus my 750W P/S had the extra pigtail to supply power to the new accessory. So these are high speed USB ports with power, plus there's the Micro SD card reader for video cameras, and HD Audio headphone and microphone. So this is exactly what my computer needed to leverage the capabilities of the motherboard. I intend to do video editing on this machine, so moving 4k files should be a lot easier. Highly recommend this product!

Pheeww! The first good news is that it was not DOA. The reviews had me nervous. Second, it read my jump drive, I could connect my phone via the USB C port, and it read a SD card. I didn’t have a MicroSD to test that port. I didn’t test the sound connections either, but those are low priority for me. Good so far, but… the specs are clearly iffy. The USB ports are not to precise specs, so I had to push in my jump drives with some force. The width is effectively slightly short, so install requires a bit of extra torque. Not a big issue. Cord length is very good, and I could reach my MB with cable to spare. No issues there. Once again, the imprecise specs made attaching the headers to my MB a bit laborious. Overall, an adequate device, but I am not thrilled. I am concerned with durability, but time will tell. Quality feels on the mediocre side. I will update the review if and when anything happens.

This thing is great. I was looking for an extra front panel to give me a few more USB ports, some card readers, and some extra audio ports. I've got a tendency of breaking audio jacks, so having some that would theoretically be replacable is helpful. What I *didn't* expect was for the audio coming out of these ports to be better than the audio coming out of the case jacks that are connected directly onto the motherboard. Not sure how they did it, but it works great. All of the USB ports and both mini and full size SD card readers work without a hitch as well. Really solid little device here to add a little extra functionality to your desktop.

When I first installed this it didn't work, thought it was doa. After replacing my PCIe with a newer Gen 2 card everything worked as expected. Fast speeds and fixed the connectivity issues I had with my old front paned usb ports.

最近 ASUS のマザーボードに切り替えてちょうど USB 3.2のフロント用のコネクタがあったんでこのフロントパネルリーダーをつけてみました。とりあえず無線のキーボードのコネクターをつけたり、同じく無線のトラックボールのコネクターをつけたりして利用してるんですけれども、何の問題もなく普通に動作してますね。このカードリーダーの外装の素材はプラ系です。電源を接続するためのコードはあまり長くないので、場合によっては延長用のケーブルが必要になるかもしれません。作り自体はそこまでカチッとしてなくてちょっと甘いかなってところがありますが、値段相応と私は思いました。動作に関しては安定的なのでそこは安心することができていいですね。

Tiene una cantidad muchas entradas para diversos tipos de dispositivos para conectarse en la parte frontal.

Ottimo pannello frontale. Ottimi materiali. Mi serviva un frontalino per porte USB 3.2 Gen.2 tipo A e C e per schede di memoria. Questo pannello è perfetto! Montato, collegato e riconosciuto senza scaricare driver. Tutte le porte funzionano benissimo. Forse l'unico neo è il costo ma non ho trovato alternative a ciò che mi serviva.

This item is junk, the card readers and audio plugs do not work.

L'article est conforme à la description. Il s'installe facilement et fonctionne parfaitement. Il faut simplement faire attention à un paramètre TRES IMPORTANT: la prise USB 3.2 Gen 2 type C n'a PAS DE DETROMPEUR et il est possible de la brancher de 2 façons différentes dont une qui ne fonctionne pas, évidemment...Sinon, cette prise est rétrocompatible Gen 1 (ce qui est le cas de ma carte mère) sans problème. Simplement, en Gen 1, on est limité à 5Gb/s (au lieu de 10).
