8-in-1 Internal Card Reader for 5.25" Bay

This internal front panel adds an 8-in-1 card reader, dual USB 3.0 ports, eSATA, SATA, and audio jacks to a desktop computer. It fits a standard 5.25-inch drive bay and connects internally to the motherboard. The unit supports SD, CF, TF, M2, and MMC/MS memory cards for quick file access.

Suits builders adding front I/O to a desktop chassis

It is not for laptops or small-form-factor cases that lack a 5.25-inch bay. Users who only need a single USB port or a basic card slot without audio or SATA connectivity should look at simpler devices. The panel requires internal motherboard headers for USB, audio, and SATA links.

5 Gbps USB 3.0 transfer speed

The dual USB 3.0 ports deliver up to 5 Gbps bandwidth for fast external drives and peripherals. eSATA runs at up to 3 Gbps and internal SATA at up to 1.5 Gbps for storage devices. USB 2.0 ports operate at up to 480 Mbps for legacy accessories.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 5.25" bay card reader is working after installation?

Insert an SD, CF, TF, M2 or MMC/MS card into the appropriate slot and confirm the system detects it; then connect a USB 3.0 device to either front port and check for 5Gbps transfer activity.

What comes in the box and what must I supply myself?

The unit includes the front-panel assembly with dual USB 3.0 ports, eSATA, SATA, audio jacks and five card slots; you must provide a spare 5.25" drive bay, internal USB 3.0 header, SATA data cable and front-panel audio cable.

Which version should I choose for fastest external storage?

Use the eSATA port for up to 3Gbps throughput with compatible external drives, or the USB 3.0 ports for up to 5Gbps with supported peripherals.
