It never worked reliably for me from the start.

I bought a Kingwin KW525-3U3CR along with a brand new computer that I was assembling. I got it mainly because of the extra USB 3 ports it provided. The card reader was just a bonus. After installation, the first thing I did was connect an external USB 3 hard drive to the panel to start transferring data to the new machine. I've never been able to get reliable file transfer for anything other than small files. Any large files or folders I tried to transfer always had some kind of error. Butโ€ฆ

Works as intended, more detailed review.

This device works as intended. Thought I'd leave a full review in case anyone is wondering what they are actually getting as I wasn't so sure myself when I ordered it. Your computer has a 5.25" bay, you have 3 cables on the back of the reader that you need to connect to your motherboard and/or your PCI-E USB 3 adapter. I bought a Mailiya PCIE-7PTC20P PCI-E USB 3.0 and 3.1 expansion card (USB-C). Works perfectly. The following cables run from the rear panel: 1. (1) 20-pin USB connector. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Peak performance. Our computer components are engineered for optimal performance and premium versatility. Our Lightning Speed USB 3.0 hub and SD card writer outperforms the others
Cons
  • Poor set

The power supply is connected to an obsolete plug.

As expected, full use of this device requires a separate power supply. The USB data connection has enough power (typically 5W) to connect and use one or maybe two USB devices, but additional power is required to connect and use more devices simultaneously. so my problem. The power connection on the device is not shown or described. The device I received uses a Molex connector instead of the standard SATA power connector (as you would expect). Molex connectors were deprecated over 10 years agoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Latest technology - a dedicated USB 3.0 Type-C port and an eSATA port with front access for ease of use. Three front-access USB 3.0 Type-A ports with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface up to 5Gbps. The perfect USB hub to charge all your PC accessories.

Very good hardware

Works great. I'm looking at the hard drive power button - it looks like some of the reviews apply to other devices listed as main articles. I'm using it with an Intel motherboard with onboard SATA 3 and a 500W PSU powered by 4-pin Molex connectors. I will say if you don't know what you might need it for then you might not need it. I use it to switch between different boot drives without using the boot manager. You can do this without hot-swapping SATA ports. (My Intel motherboard doesn'tโ€ฆ
