5.25" Internal Media Dashboard

The Hetai Tech 5.25" 8-in-1 Media Dashboard fits a standard front-panel bay to add front-access connectivity. It combines a multi-format card reader with USB 3.0, e-SATA, audio jacks and a 4-pin power port in a black plastic housing. The unit measures 146 by 90 by 40 millimetres and draws DC 12V and 5V from the system.

8-in-1 Card Reader Slot

The single specification that decides fit is the integrated 8-in-1 card reader supporting common memory card formats. Front-mounted USB 3.0 and e-SATA ports provide high-speed data paths for external drives. Audio ports for front speakers and a microphone eliminate the need to reach rear-panel jacks. A 4-pin power connector supplies connected devices directly.

For Builders Adding Front I/O

This dashboard suits system builders who want front-panel card reading, USB 3.0, e-SATA and audio in one 5.25-inch device. It requires an available 5.25-inch bay, a spare internal USB 3.0 header, an e-SATA connection and a 4-pin power lead. Builders without a 5.25-inch bay or lacking the necessary internal headers should look at external hubs instead.

Questions about this item

How does the 8-in-1 card reader perform once installed in a desktop?

The 8-in-1 reader supports multiple memory card formats through a single 5.25 inch bay, giving direct front-panel access without reaching the rear I/O.

What does the e-SATA port actually cap at in daily use?

The e-SATA connection provides high transfer speed for external SATA drives, limited by the SATA standard of the host controller.

What does the unit need to fit and mount in a standard case?

It occupies one 5.25 inch drive bay measuring about 146x90x40mm and requires a 4-pin power connector for the 12V and 5V rails.
