Front-Panel Hub for 5.25" Bays

This front-panel hub installs in a standard 5.25 inch drive bay and adds a USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port, a six-slot card reader and four USB 2.0 ports. It is designed for desktop builders who want quick access to memory cards and legacy USB devices without opening the case.

Suits builders with spare 5.25" bays.

The unit fits any desktop case that provides a 5.25 inch front bay and a free internal USB 3.0 header for the card reader plus a USB 2.0 header for the hub. It cannot be used in laptops, small-form-factor chassis without 5.25 inch bays, or systems lacking the required internal headers.

Six card formats plus Type-C at 10 Gbps

The reader accepts CF I, CF II, MD, MMC, SD, SDHC, micro SD, SDXC, RS, MS, MS Pro, MS Pro Duo, M2 and EXD cards. The Type-C port delivers up to 10 Gbps for compatible enclosures, while the dedicated charging port supplies 5 V at 2.4 A for phones or tablets. Four USB 2.0 ports handle keyboards, mice, printers and other peripherals.

Questions about this item

Does my case need a free 5.25" bay to install this front panel?

Yes, the unit is designed to mount in a standard 5.25" front bay, so an open bay is required.

Will the 20-pin USB 3.0 header on this hub work with a motherboard that only has a 19-pin USB 3.0 connector?

The hub uses a 20-pin USB 3.0 connector for the card reader and front interface; a 19-pin header will not mate correctly.

How can I confirm the USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port is running at 10 Gbps after setup?

Connect a 10 Gbps-capable drive and verify the link speed in your OS device manager or run a benchmark that reports 10 Gbps throughput.
