USB powered and works better than Kingwin!

This *is* a powered USB hub and currently performs much better than Kingwin front bay USB hubs. I bought this to replace the USB/SATA ports in the OEM top front case. Somehow one of the case's USB ports melted from having the USB stick plugged in all night. Two USB/SATA ports and electronics are likely to have compromised integrity now. After connecting the Rosewill device, all USB ports seem to work fine with USB2/USB3 flash drives along with the keyboard attached. I haven't checked the port speeds, but I assume that they are likely to operate at the appropriate USB2/USB3 speeds. I haven't tested the SATA port either. Cons 1) After testing MicroSD ports, [sde] Tag #0 CDB: read (10) 28 00 00 1b 27 38 00 00 80 00 Feb 17 12:44:28 Kernel localhost4: print_req_error: I/O error , dev sde, sector 1779512 Feb 17 12:44:28 localhost4 core: SD 10:0:0:0: [sde] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSEFEb 17 12:44:28 localhost4 core : SD 10:0:0:0:[sde] tag#0 sense key: device attention [current] Feb 17 12:44:28 kernel localhost4: sd 10:0:0:0: [sde] tag#0 add .

This MicroSD card works great with a USB adapter.
