5.25-inch Front Panel Card Reader

The Hetai Tech 5.25-inch Media Dashboard mounts in a standard optical drive bay and adds an 8-in-1 card reader plus front-facing I/O. It connects to the motherboard using a 20-pin USB 3.0 header, a USB 2.0 header, two SATA data cables, a 4-pin power connector and an audio cable. The panel is built from ABS with an etched surface finish.

Suits desktops needing front card access

Builders who want front-panel SD, TF, M2, MMC, MS or CF card slots up to 64 GB capacity will find the reader useful. The kit also provides a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 port, an e-SATA port, a SATA port, a 4-pin power port and headphone/microphone jacks. Systems without a 5.25-inch bay, a spare 20-pin USB 3.0 header or the listed cable connections cannot use this dashboard.

8-in-1 reader supports cards up to 64 GB

The integrated reader handles M2, TF, SD, MMC, MS and CF formats with a maximum stated capacity of 64 GB. USB 3.0 runs at up to 5 Gbps, USB 2.0 at up to 480 Mbps, and e-SATA provides high-speed transfer for external SATA drives. LED indicators show power and disk activity, while Windows 2000 through Windows 8, Linux and Mac OS are supported.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5.25 inch media dashboard into a front drive bay and connect the 20 pin USB 3.0 cable?

Slide the unit into a free 5.25 inch bay, secure it with screws, then plug the 20 pin USB 3.0 cable into the matching motherboard header, attach the 4 pin power cable, connect the two SATA data cables, the USB 2.0 DuPont cable and the audio cable to their respective headers.

Which memory cards does the built-in 8-in-1 reader support and what is the maximum capacity?

The reader handles M2, TF, SD, MMC, MS and CF cards up to 64 GB capacity; no other card types or larger sizes are supported by this dashboard.

What transfer speed limit will I hit first when moving large files through the USB 3.0 port under sustained use?

The USB 3.0 interface caps at 5 Gbps, so sustained throughput will be limited by that ceiling before the SATA or eSATA links become the bottleneck.
