Review on Excelity® Ports Front Floppy Bracket by Matt Vanlaere

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fit and finish is mediocre but works as expected, warranty is questionable 3 months vs 12

I connected it to an ASUSTek B450M-A motherboard in an Antec 300 case The screws provided were useless as they were too short but I had some screws that worked fine. Inserting a USB stick into each slot was a bit tight and required some force, but was acceptable as USB drives were otherwise recognized correctly. The bezel isn't exactly square, so one corner sticks out where the opposite side is a little like the bezel is slightly twisted, but it still fits well enough, just looks crappy. I always worry when a product is a little inferior because I wonder how long it will last. I chose this one over the UCEC front USB hub I have on another PC because UCEC isn't the best quality either. It may just be the state of the industry with devices like this, which is sad for us who love to build and mod our own PCs. Update: The card that came in my package from the Excelity seller says it has a 3 month warranty, but the instructions say it has a 1 year warranty.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
