StarTech.com 3.5in or 5.25in Bay USB 3.0 Front Panel 4 Port Hub - Internal Front 3.5 USB 3.0 Hub (35BAYUSB3S4), Black Review

Plugs into a regular USB port, not the 20 pin mobo port. Don't have a regular USB in your case? The instructions require you to route the cable outside of the PC case. I personally would rather buy one with 20 pin cable out of the case or buy a plug adapter. 99.9% of the cable adapters I buy are from StarTech and this is the first time I've had a reason to complain.

No more waiting around for hours to move a few gigabytes. And the convenience of having front panel connections. I connected this to an internal StarTech 3.0 PCI adapter. This has been up for a while and works great on a five year old desktop. I have it in the drive bay. The only problem is that it doesn't fit snugly enough. As a result, it tends to move a bit when plugging in. I will blame this case. It seems that now not all cases allow the use of mounting screws. Rather than trying to fit…

I went to my computer with the USB 3.0 update, great! Then I told my wife that she wanted it too. Revane's good trick is to keep track of your orders. I found my order, just re-ordered everything. Sure, it's easy to give Revane your dollars, but that's the point. Why should I go anywhere else! As for the USB 3.0 EZ for installation, it works quickly, the wife is happy, that's the point!

Faceplate works well. I connect external USB 3.0 hard drives and the transfer speed is noticeably faster, about 2-4 times faster than using the USB 2.0 ports. My only issue was that it was a little difficult to attach firmly to my internal drive bay. This is probably more of an issue with my desktop case than this hub, but it seems StarTech could have thought more about how to properly screw it into regular desktop cases like Dell's since it's an aftermarket one. accessories.

I've been using it for over a month and have installed it twice in that time. Once on my old computer and then again on my new system. It was difficult for me to find the right drivers to get it working the first time. Now, on my new computer, I don't remember exactly what I did and didn't have time to troubleshoot/research, so it's currently not working. However, it works as a good charger for my phone :-/
